Accessing Data Sources
Testing a Query
You can test your SQL code in SQL Builder before inserting it in a page.
To run a query in the SQL Builder:
1. Click the Run Query button.
2. You are prompted to enter values for any CFML variables in the query.
Note
Editing a Query
If you save a query, you can edit it later. Pages that contain the edited query are not
automatically updated, so you will need to re-insert the query for the changes to take
effect.
To edit a query:
1. Open the query folder for the data source you want to use.
2. Double-click on the query you want to edit.
3. Make changes in the Table pane and the Properties pane.
4. Save the new query.
Note
The interactions among the SQL Builder panes differ somewhat. If you write a query in
the SQL pane and save it, the code is not reflected in the Properties or Table panes. If
you take an action, such as adding a table, in the Properties or Table panes, the SQL
pane is refreshed with the SQL generated from these panes.
When you click the Run Query button, the SQL statement is actually
processed. If you run an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement, the
changes you coded in the SQL statement are made in the data source.
