Rdbms Point Query Manager
Figure 49. Point Query Manager view
You access this view, once you have created an RdbmsPointQuery by expanding in the Nav tree, expanding the Points folder under your rdb Database node and double-clicking the RdbmsPointQuery container.
This view works in a way that is similar to the standard Point Manager view and, like that view, it has Discovered and Database panes, as well as similar buttons at the bottom of the view.
Columns

Query Results vs Discovery
Figure 50. Example of an Rdbms Query compared to the Discovered pane
Discovered points represent the results of executing the Rdbms point query. In fact, the results from the data in the Discovered pane should match the data presented in the Query Results pane of the Rdbms Query View. The Discover button executes the query defined by the Sql property in the New Rdbms Point Query window.
