| Use | Name | Scope | Cardinality | Type | Binding | Documentation |
| IN | subjectCanonical | 0..1 | canonical (View Definition, SQL Query Library, SQL View Library) | Canonical URL of the ViewDefinition, SQLQuery Library or SQLView Library to execute, optionally with a |version suffix pinning a version. Exactly one of subjectCanonical, subjectReference and subjectResource is supplied; supplying none, or more than one, is rejected with 400 Bad Request. | ||
| IN | subjectReference | 0..1 | Reference (View Definition, SQL Query Library, SQL View Library) | Literal location of the subject to execute: a relative URL on this server, or an absolute URL. Not a canonical URL; use subjectCanonical for that. Exactly one of subjectCanonical, subjectReference and subjectResource is supplied; supplying none, or more than one, is rejected with 400 Bad Request. | ||
| IN | subjectResource | 0..1 | CanonicalResource (View Definition, SQL Query Library, SQL View Library) | Inline ViewDefinition, SQLQuery Library or SQLView Library to execute. Exactly one of subjectCanonical, subjectReference and subjectResource is supplied; supplying none, or more than one, is rejected with 400 Bad Request. Carries a resource, so it requires POST. The declared type is CanonicalResource because ViewDefinition is a logical model rather than a FHIR resource; see Common Operation Behavior (operations-common.html#declared-type). | ||
| IN | parameters | 0..1 | Parameters | Input parameter values for the subject, bound by name to the parameters the Library declares (Library.parameter.name), using the value[x] type matching each declared type. Permitted only where the subject is a SQLQuery or SQLView; supplying it where the subject is a ViewDefinition is rejected with 400 Bad Request, because a ViewDefinition declares no parameters. Carries a resource, so it requires POST. | ||
| IN | context | 0..* | CanonicalResource (View Definition, SQL View Library) | Supporting artifacts the server cannot itself resolve, supplied inline and matched by canonical URL against the dependencies in the subject's transitive relatedArtifact graph. Accepts inline resources only; there is no context by canonical URL, because a URL is exactly what the server has already failed to resolve. Carries a resource, so it requires POST. See Common Operation Behavior (operations-common.html#context). | ||
| IN | resource | 0..* | Resource | FHIR resources to transform instead of using server data. Repeatable. A Bundle supplied here is unwrapped: the view runs against each Bundle.entry[*].resource rather than against the Bundle itself. Permitted only where the subject is a ViewDefinition; supplying it where the subject is a SQLQuery or SQLView is rejected with 400 Bad Request, because how inline resources reach each dependency view is not specified. Carries a resource, so it requires POST. See OperationDefinition-SQLRun notes (Resource parameter and Bundle inputs). | ||
| IN | _format | 0..1 | code | Output Format Codes (Extensible) | Output format for the result (json, ndjson, csv, parquet, fhir). Use fhir to return results as a FHIR Parameters resource. Optional; if omitted, the server returns ndjson by default. See Common Operation Behavior (operations-common.html). | |
| IN | header | 0..1 | boolean | Include CSV headers (default true). Applies only when csv output is requested. | ||
| IN | patient | 0..* | Reference | Restrict the FHIR resources feeding the view, before projection, to the supplied patient(s). Where the subject is a SQLQuery or SQLView, that means before the SQL executes. An unresolvable patient is rejected with 400 Bad Request. See Common Operation Behavior (operations-common.html#patient-filter). | ||
| IN | group | 0..* | Reference | Restrict the FHIR resources feeding the view, before projection, to members of the supplied group(s). Where the subject is a SQLQuery or SQLView, that means before the SQL executes. An unresolvable group is rejected with 400 Bad Request. See Common Operation Behavior (operations-common.html#group-filter). | ||
| IN | _since | 0..1 | instant | Include only resources whose state changed after this instant. See Common Operation Behavior (operations-common.html#since-filter). | ||
| IN | source | 0..1 | string | External data source to read from instead of the server's own data (for example a URI or bucket name). Where the subject is a SQLQuery or SQLView, this is where the ViewDefinition tables the query selects from are found. | ||
| IN | _limit | 0..1 | integer | Maximum number of rows to return. | ||
| OUT | return | 1..1 | Binary | Result rows in the requested output format, returned as a raw binary stream in the format's native media type, not a serialized Binary resource envelope. When _format=fhir is requested, the response is a Parameters resource instead. See Common Operation Behavior (operations-common.html). |
