The Area for Designating Query Specifications

The area on the right of the SQL Statement Builder contains one or more of the following tabbed screens depending on the type of statement being built: Query Specification, Criteria Logic, Group Criteria, New Values, and Call Parameters.

Query Specification – available with SELECT statements; allows you to select the column names in the statement to return, to sort on, and to specify simple criteria and conditions.   For more information see the SELECT Statements section.

Using the tab, you can manipulate the criteria in the statement. For more information, see the SELECT Statements, UPDATE Statements, and DELETE Statements sections.
