### Parameters

1. statementName - The name of the statement
2. additionalParameters - all controls in the current config are set as paramters automatically. If you need to add additional parameters, you can use this json object to set them
3. queryOptions - (optional) a json object with options for the request
   * timeout - (optional) timeout for the SQL request. Default is 30 seconds
   * connectionKey - (optional) a key to a custom settings entry with the connection string to an external MSSQL database

### Example Usages

Lets assume, we have a standard statement "select adrName from address where id=@id"

```javascript
   let result = await brixxApi.sqlRead("readAddress"); //this will use the statement "readAddress". The @id parameter is set to the id of the current loaded record in the app where we use this function
   console.log(result[0].adrName);
```

```javascript
   let result = await brixxApi.sqlRead("readAddress", {id: 1}); //this will use the statement "readAddress". The @id parameter is set to 1
   console.log(result[0].adrName);
```

```javascript
   let result = await brixxApi.sqlRead("readAddress", {id: 1}, {timeout: 60}); // Wait for 60 seconds
   console.log(result[0].adrName);
```

```javascript
   let result = await brixxApi.sqlRead("readAddress", null, {timeout: 60}); //use a timeout but without script parameters
   console.log(result[0].adrName);
```
