The SQL builder toolbar contains the following tools.

  • Clear Query removes the field entries for the current SQL query.
  • Cut removes items and placed them on the Microsoft Windows clipboard so they can be pasted elsewhere.
  • Copy copies items and place them on the Windows clipboard so they can be pasted elsewhere.
  • Paste pastes items from the Windows clipboard to certain places in the SQL builder.
  • SQL properties opens the Properties dialog box.

  • Refresh refreshes the contents of all the panels on the SQL builder.
  • Window View allows you to select which panels are shown in the SQL builder window.
  • Help opens the online help.
