Saving a Query
Once you create a query, you can save and reuse the query whenever you want to access the same information in your database. Follow these steps to save a query.
- Choose Query
Save. The Save As dialog box appears:
![]()
- Type a short description for the query.
The description can consist of up to 48 alphanumeric characters and spaces. You’ll use the query description to locate and open queries, so pick a description that reflects the type of query you create. For example, you might type Customer Orders for a query that accesses all the orders for each customer in the Customer table.
NOTE: Results lets you use descriptions to locate and access query files, so you are not limited to eight-character filenames. However, Results automatically generates filenames for these files so that your computer can store and access them properly. The query directory (.qd7
) file contains a directory that maps the descriptions you provide with the actual filenames Results generates. See the Progress Results Administration and Development Guide for more information about the query directory.- Choose OK.
Once you have saved a query, you can use the Save As command to save the query without changing its description.
