Hello All
I have been slowly integrating all my flows into databases. This has been great below is one of my standard flows. To update/insert into the datebase I have to create a msg.topic put the SQL statement in , it is then pushed usually to a functoin node , I do some processing with the msg.payload and put it into the SQL msg.topic and pass it to the database.
Is there anyway to simplify this? My thought was within a UI Switch node. if it can dynamically update the topic portion of it when I click the button. This would cut out me having to mess with function nodes to combine it all together
For for example
I have a Switch node with topic "UPDATE schedule SET weekend_off = "switchnodepayload" WHEREID` = '0'
When I turn it on it would output msg.topic as "UPDATE schedule SET weekend_off =1WHEREID` = '0'
or when it is off
"UPDATE schedule SET weekend_off =0WHEREID` = '0'"
A previous thread someone suggested jsonata which helped me with database items. Can Jsonata be used like this? or is there another solution?
Not a huge deal its mearly me just trying to optimise the fows 
Edit: forgot flow
