Saving the query
To save a query
-
Select File > Save Query from the menu bar.
If you have previously saved the query, PowerBuilder saves
the new version in the same library and returns you to the Query
painter. If you have not previously saved the query, PowerBuilder
displays the Save Query dialog box. -
Enter a name for the query in the Queries box (see Naming the query).
-
(Optional) Enter comments to describe the query.
These comments display in the Library painter. It is a good
idea to use comments to remind yourself and others of the purpose
of the query. -
Specify the library in which to save the query, and click
OK.
Naming the
query
The query name can be any valid PowerBuilder identifier up to
255 characters. When you name queries, use a unique name to identify
each one. A common convention is to use a two-part name: a standard
prefix that identifies the object as a query (such as q_) and a unique
suffix.For example, you might name a query that displays employee data
q_emp_data. For information about PowerBuilder identifiers, see the section called “Identifier names” in PowerScript Reference.
