Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Once the SQL Data source is active and the query builder is activated there are two ways to create a visual query.

 

Method 1:

 

One table objects from the right of the query builder view can be dragged and dropped in the object view;-

 

Dragging and dropping table objects and then selecting fields builds a query. By default a "Select * from" statement is created. if you then select fields from the table object the query will change top reflect the selection:-

The visual query builder allows for point and click manipulation of the query and creates the SQL code.

 

Method 2:

 

The second method is to right click in the upper query builder area and select 'Add Object'

 

A table dialogue opens allowing the selection of tables and views to build the query.
