Previewing the Query

Preview a query to make sure it is retrieving the correct rows and columns.

  1. Select Design > Execute.
    PowerBuilder retrieves the rows that satisfy the currently defined query in the Results view.
  2. In the results view, manipulate the retrieved data as you do in the Database painter.
    You can sort and filter the data, but you cannot insert or delete rows or apply changes to the database. For more about manipulating data, see Managing the Database in the PowerBuilder Users Guide.
