Querying by Where Clause

This topic describes the procedure to build a query data by using Where clause.


When you build a query, you have to build a business condition as a Group by Where clause to get the business data.

  1. Click the Where clause box to highlight the Where text box.
  2. Select attribute from the Attributes list and double-click the highlighted attribute. The selected attribute is added to the Whereclause box.

    Tip: You can add expressions for the Where clause to run a query.


    Note: A Where clause for each query will be a combination of the following macro:
    <field name> <operator> <value>

  3. To replace the operator tag, click <opr> and select the required expression from the Expressions list.
  4. To replace the value tag, click the <value>, and define the value by a parameter or a string:
    Option Description
    By a parameter Double-click the corresponding attribute in the Attributes list: The field name is added with a colon (:) before it, indicating that the value has to be input by the user.

    Type in After selecting the tag, type the field name or the value, as required.
