Entering an SQL query
1.
In the Database Connection dialog box, click Edit SQL.
2.
If necessary, click Show Tables to display, in the Tables area, a list of the tables
available in the database.
3. In the SQL Query Entry area, enter the SQL query. The following two sample queries both
retrieve all the fields in the Orders table. The second sorts the resulting records on the
Date field.
SELECT * FROM [Orders]
SELECT * FROM [Orders] ORDER BY [Date]
4.
Click Test SQL to verify the query you entered is a valid SQL query.
5. Define whether you want PlanetPress Design to automatically enclose table names and
field names in square brackets.
Alternate syntax(not recommended): Select to prevent PlanetPress Design from
automatically enclosing the names of any database tables and fields that appear in the
SQL query in square brackets when it exits the advanced SQL Statement dialog box.
6.
Client side cursor: Select to download result sets to client computer running the SQL
query. Under some circumstances, client side cursors may be slightly less efficient than
server-side cursors, but they may also provide additional functionality, depending on the
type of query that is issued.
7.
Click OK to return to the Database Connection dialog box.
