SUMMARY

Clicking the SQL... button from the File Open dialog causes the SQL Query dialog to appear. At this point, a SQL query can be used to display the results, rather than having to open all of the files involved.

For example, if the department names in each city and state are needed, entering the following SQL query displays the results:

   SELECT LOC_CITY, LOC_STATE, DEPT_NAME
   FROM LOC.DBF, DEPT.DBF
   WHERE LOC.LOC_ID=DEPT.LOC_ID
