Visual SQL Query Builder

The Visual SQL Query Builder provides a graphically intuitive means of generating simple and complex queries and joining tables. From the generated query, the Visual Query Builder automatically builds form dialogs — dialogs containing simple controls for interfacing to a database — which can be saved and recalled when needed. Using the form editing tool, a form dialog can be visually manipulated and reformatted.

The Visual SQL Query Builder is the default database query tool and is available when Drawing > Attach > Database > Open Visual Query Builder is chosen.

Note: To open the Visual SQL Query Builder dialog, you must be connected to a database.
