visual query builder ? |

"Fred H." | TIM - what is your current status on including a visual query builder
in EDB v2? Unfortunately, I'm still stuck in SQL Kindergarten. It's evident, though, I'll need to do some serious studying up since you've made EDB alot more SQL-dependent, but nevertheless, a query builder would indeed be a tremendous help and to also learn from esp. for us novices. Anyway, I did a search for any comments on one and the last post I could find where you mentioned something about it was on June 27, 2008: "From: "Tim Young [Elevate Software]" <timyoung@elevatesoft.com> Subject: Re: ElevateDB on Compact Framework Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 17:45:14 -0400 Message-ID: <F33678EA-36A9-40D3-9D2D-D14222F509F6@news.elevatesoft.com> Lines: 29 Isaac, .... << - Query Builder >> This on the list, but not a high-priority item. ...." Cheers, Fred |

If you have TMS controls as well as ElevateDB I loaded my simple query builder into the binaries - it only does selects. Roy Lambert |

You don't need to use SQL for selection or inserts, updates, or deletes unless you want to. Also, the DDL statements that EDB executes when you take actions in the manager are logged in the SQL History under Explorer..SQL History, so you can do something in the manager and immediately copy the generated SQL used by the EDB Manager into your application. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

"Fred H." | yep, I see your upload in the Binaries, Roy, but unfortunately won't be
able to check out your source since I don't have any of the TMS stuff. I have DevExpress stuff, but not TMS. Can you upload a zipped compiled version of it, though? I would still like to have a lookie at your app anyway.

For my case...I need it more for helping to create (read only) queries (views?) to present on a grid or for a report. It's just alot easier doing it graphically than trying to code it by hand, which I've done before, but it's time consuming for me since I'm not a SQL guru and have to do alot of back and forth referencing and trial and error. I guess I'm spoiled by my days of using MS Access; I used their Query Builder all the time and was extremely helpful in whipping out quick Queries. With the new Views, Triggers and Procedures stuff in EDB, though...I need to learn about those and how I can use them in my database apps. Thanks, Fred |

I'll stuff a simple app I wrote to test out EDB into the binaries - the query builder is part of it. Roy Lambert |
