Use Custom SQL in A Query

The majority of users don't need to access the custom SQL area. Familiarity with SQL and FH data structures is required to customize queries using SQL. If you have created a new query and want to create a query manually using SQL commands, complete the following steps with the Query Designer form displayed:

  1. From the Tools menu select the Queries... option.

    The Queries form is displayed.

  2. Select the module and record area, and either create a new query, or modify an existing query.

    Information on creating or modifying a query is available in Create New Query and Modify Query.

  3. In the Query Designer form, in the Options area, check Define query manually through custom SQL commands.

    The View SQL button changes to Customize SQL.

  4. Press Customize SQL.

    The Query-Customize SQL form is displayed.

  5. Type valid SQL commands and FH data tables and fields.
