The designer is free to use a wide range of control types to build
command-specific parameter pages. |
 The result of a select command can be displayed as tabular
data - form or browse view, or as a business graphic.
The type of result is predefined as an attribute of the task. |
|
 The Professional version can handle not only SQL or PL/SQL tasks
but dbScript and dbIterate types too.
Using the xBase-like full object oriented dbScript you can
process data files (DBF) or invoke functions of the Windows API |
There are many tools to help the designer. In the image above it is
opened the Structure Inspector (SI) window.
The SI display the structure of tables accessible through the
current connection. |
There are a wide scale of controls to build an user interface. To fill
these you can use static expressions, list or SQL-queries.
The most powerful are the dynamic controls. They are refilled each time
when the control gain focus and the filling SQL expression has been

control can be changed using visual tools. All changes are instantly
applied and immediately visible.
The text editors uses lexical coloring to emphasize the keywords and
parameters |
The result of processing can be by default exported in DBF/text
or as xml in a predefined (but parameterized) place in a LAN.
Moreover, the user can decide do export manually the obtained data, in
any of above-mentioned formats. |

the manner how the data are displayed or the format used to automatically
export them. |

There can be selected automated or manual registration modes. |
 The
goal of VQT Enterprise service is to schedule and execute automated
database maintenance and reporting commands |
 The
functionality of VQT utilities are well documented with tutorial and
sample packages. There are included database querying and dbScript
samples too. From time to time database engine specific samples are
added for download. |
