For example, if you are trying to determine the best location for a new park
and you have linked data from a table containing information about the
households, you can search for all parcels where the household has young
children.
NOTE Before you execute a query with a SQL condition, be sure the appropriate
data source is attached and connected.
Query mode
Specify the type of query to run. If you are creating an element for the Display
Manager, Draw is the only available option.
Preview
Preview the objects that match the query conditions, but don't actually pull
the objects into the current drawing.
When you redraw the screen, the objects will be gone. Property alterations
do not appear in a Preview mode query.
Draw
Get the objects that match the query and bring them into the current
drawing. If you are creating an element for the Display Manager, this option
gets the objects and adds them to the element.
If a property alteration has been defined, objects are modified as they are
copied into the current drawing.
You must have Draw Query privileges to perform a draw query. See

a new user
(page 83).
Report
Execute the query and save the results in a report file.
To specify a template for the report, click Options to display the
Output
Report Options dialog box
(page 1852).
Property alterations are not reflected in the report.
Options
Display the
Output Report Options dialog box (page 1852), where you specify
a template for the report. The Options button is available only if Report
query mode is selected.
NOTE For topology queries, the Options button is available with both Draw
and Report query modes.
Options
Set property alterations, save the query to execute later, load a query you
previously saved, redraw the screen, or set options.
