This is how Active Query Builder looks when started.
The main window can be divided into the following parts:
| 1. | The Query Building Area is the main area where the visual representation of query will be displayed. This area allows you to define source database objects and derived tables, define links between them and configure properties of tables and links. |
| 2. | The Columns Pane is located below the query building area. It is used to perform all necessary operations with query output columns and expressions. Here you can define field aliases, sorting and grouping, and define criteria. |
| 3. | The Query Tree Pane is located at the left. Here you may browse your query and quickly locate any part of it. |
| 4. | The Object (Databases) Pane is located at the right. Here you can select any database to be added to your query |
| 5. | The SQL tab displays the SQL Text for the Query you created. It is possible to place your query into SQL Editor Mode and edit the actual SQL Code |
| 6. | The small area in the corner of the query building area with the "Q" letter is the union sub-query handling control. Here you may add new union sub-queries and perform all necessary operations with them using popup menu. |
