Hello

I am developing an application which pulls data from a P6 SQL database. I want to select all Critical Tasks. Can someone advise me which SQL database Tables/Fields signify a Task as being Critical please.

I thought there was a 'critical_flag' field in the TASK Table but on checking I don't have one.

Thank you.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I believe that this would be used only if the critical tasks were calculated using 'Longest Path'. In our scenario critical activities are calculated based upon total float.

    The Total Float is held in

    The Total Float is held in the TOTAL_FLOAT_HR_CNT column in the TASK table.  You can look in the PROJECT table to find out what has been configured for Total Float and your SQL can be written to identify the Critical Tasks.

    If you are using SQL directly then be careful to exclude the deleted Task records.
