TMS Query Studio

Make queries easy; flexible & powerful.

Feature overview

Query Studio provides an easy way to give users access to powerful queries without requiring any knowledge about SQL. Users can setup complex queries in an almost natural language way with Query Studio. Dropping the component VisualQuery on the form and connect to the database opens the visual query power of Query Studio.

Feature details

  • Visual definition of SQL, in a natural language-like way
  • Allows definition of source tables and joins
  • Allows definition of order and filtering
  • Exclusive parameter editors feature: a value in the filter condition can be attached to a parameter editor. End-user can change editor value and it will automatically be reflected in SQL
  • Supports SQL syntax for Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, Nexus, Interbase, DBISAM and Local BDE
  • Automatically set TDataset properties. Supports BDE, ADO, IBX, DBISAM, Nexus, IBO, DirectSQL and DBExpress dataset descendants
  • Automatic grouping feature for aggregate functions usage
  • Support custom field expressions and custom filter conditions

FAQ

Q: How can I use a database component library for which no built-in interface component is provided in IntraWeb Query Builder?

A: You can use TatCustomDatabase component to manually retrieve tables and field names and pass the names to visual query component. Just drop a TatCustomDatabase component and set event handlers for all its events. The example below shows how to use TatCustomDatabase to support BDE components (although it is already supported by the specific TatBDEDatabase component). You must have a TDatabase component in the form named Database1 which points to the DBDEMOS database.

procedure TForm1.atCustomDatabase1ReadSqlPropertyEvent(ADataset: TDataSet;
  var ASQL: String);
begin
  if ADataset is TQuery then
    ASQL := TQuery(ADataset).SQL.Text;
end;

procedure TForm1.atCustomDatabase1RetrieveFieldNameListEvent(
  const ATableName: String; const AList: TStrings);
var
  table: TTable;
  c: integer;
begin
  table:=TTable.Create(nil);
  try
    table.DatabaseName := 'DBDEMOS';
    table.TableName := ATableName;
    table.FieldDefs.Update;
    for c := 0 to table.FieldDefs.Count-1 do
      AList.AddObject(
      table.FieldDefs[c].Name, // FieldName
      TObject(Ord(table.FieldDefs[c].DataType)) ); // DataType
  finally
    table.Free;
  end;
end;

procedure TForm1.atCustomDatabase1RetrieveTablenameListEvent(
  const AList: TStrings);
begin
  Database1.GetTableNames(AList);
end;

procedure TForm1.atCustomDatabase1OpenQueryEvent(ASql: String;
  var ADataset: TDataSet);
begin
  ADataset := TQuery.Create(Self);
  with TQuery(ADataset) do
  try
    DatabaseName := 'DBDEMOS';
    Sql.Text := ASql;
    Open;
  except
    ADataset.Free;
    ADataset := nil;
    raise;
  end;
end;

procedure TForm1.atCustomDatabase1WriteSqlPropertyEvent(ADataset: TDataSet;
  ASql: String);
begin
  if ADataset is TQuery then
    TQuery(ADataset).SQL.Text := ASQL;
end;
