After further troubleshooting, there is a WHERE statement that is being used to limit the meter list to a certain types and regions. If it is present, then I don't get a rs.rowcount. Otherwise it works.
WHERE
CGroup.GrType IN ( 'Meter' ) and CGroup.ObjType IN ( 'Inlet' , 'Check' ) and "_FullName" Like 'Region 1.%'

You haven't show what gChild01 would be... is it an ID which would match the CAdvOutstation ParentGroup's ID?
Or did you mean to use CAdvOutstatation.ParentGroupName instead?

gChild01 in the meter group properties points to the comms folder and automatically populates since all of the groups are part of a template. The comms folder contains the RTU and would match the CAdvOutstation.ParentGroupName.
IE. MeterName.Valve.Comms.RTU where the MeterName group holds all of the OPC points, the Valve group holds all of the Modbus valve points, and in the comms folder is the RTU and channels for the valve points.
Since the valve comms folder is nested in the 3rd group, I couldn't find a way to join the two tables without giving some reference in the meter group that would bridge 2 groups deeper.

You wrote this:
CGROUP.gChild01 = CADVOUTSTATION.ParentGroupID
If as you say gChild01 is "FullName".. this will not = 1897034 (i.e. the Parent Group ID).. since a number never 'equals' a string.
Provide your whole query, and an example of the data for every field referenced in the query.

gChild01 only contains the parent group of the outstation. When I add CGroup.gChild01 to the query, the ID number and not the string name is what comes back as the result, and I can add the CAdvOustatation.ParentGroupID to the query, I can see that both ID's match. Doing the join and getting what I want displayed isn't the issue.
Are you saying that gChild01 returns a string (containing the ID number) instead of just an ID? I would have suspected that if that were the case, then the join would have never worked.

gChild01 is a customised Metadata field from YOUR custom configuration.
So you should be the person that knows what the configuration of it is :tongue:
Does the query return results if you remove the JOIN conditions (and fields from return)
Reply From User: hardin4019, posted: 2019-07-12 01:09:48
Yes if I leave off the join it returns results. It also returns results with the join. But with the where and join both present, I'm not getting a row count. That is what has me stumped.

When you call the following query... how many of these entries have CGROUP.GRPTYPE = 'Meter', AND CGROUP.OBJTYPE = 'Inlet' or 'Check'?
SELECT
CGROUP.ID,
CGROUP.FULLNAME AS "_FullName",
CGROUP.OBJPROPERTY02 AS "~Producer",
CGROUP.OBJSHORTDESC AS "~Meter\
Number",
CGROUP.OBJDISPLAYNAME AS "~Station",
CGROUP.OBJPROPERTY07 AS "~Gathering\
System",
CGROUP.OBJPROPERTY08 AS "~Compressor\
Station A",
CGROUP.OBJPROPERTY09 AS "~Compressor\
Station B",
CGROUP.GRPTYPE,
CGROUP.OBJTYPE,
CGROUP.GCHILD01,
CADVOUTSTATION.PARENTGROUPID
FROM
CGROUP JOIN CADVOUTSTATION ON CGROUP.GCHILD01 = CADVOUTSTATION.PARENTGROUPID
WHERE "_FullName" LIKE 'Region1.%'
ORDER BY
"~Meter\
Number" ASC
I suspect the answer is 0 (zero)... hence why your query including the WHERE clause returns no rows.

Approximately 130 rows.

Found a working solution.
I was able to go in and add my own Metadata field to the CGroup table that is linked to the Modbus Outstation and add the new column to my query without issue. Pick Actions work and return the correct Pick Action menu for the Outstation.
