Working with Results Grid
Result Grid has two modes: Results Display mode and Table Data Edit mode.
Results Display Mode
In Display query mode you can execute actions described below in a table. Generate SELECT/INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE for dates and string uses settings from Import / Export
Result Grid supports two additional modes. You can transpose them by selecting "Transpose" from the popup menu. Results also can be grouped by any number of columns. To accomplish it select "Group / Ungroup" from popup menu
Export to Excel
Select Export To->Excel menu item from Result Grid popup menu to copy data to Excel
To export data to specific Excel file you can define Excel export template in Export/Import options.
Excel export template should have form: File_Name,Range_Name (C:\Temp\Book1.xls,R_DATA).
Table Edit Mode
Table Data edit is entered when you select "Edit Table Data" from table popup menu in Object View. In this mode you can directly edit data in underlying table. When entering string values you do not need to enclose them in single quotes. To assign NULL value to a column leave content of cell empty. To enter empty string type two single quotes. Dates can be entered in any format which can be converted to date. If conversion to date fails nothing will be changed. Change in underlying table happens when you leave cell. At this point implicit COMMIT executed.
