SQL Property (RDS)

Indicates the query string used to retrieve the Recordset.

You can set the SQL property at design time in the RDS.DataControl object's OBJECT tags, or at run time in scripting code.

Syntax

Design time: <PARAM NAME="SQL" VALUE="QueryString">
Run time: DataControl.SQL = "QueryString"

Parameters

QueryString

A String value that contains a valid SQL data request.

DataControl

An object variable that represents an RDS.DataControl object.

Remarks

In general, this is an SQL statement (using the dialect of the database server), such as "Select * from NewTitles". To ensure that records are matched and updated accurately, an updatable query must contain a field other than a Long Binary field or a computed field.

The SQL property is optional if a custom server-side business object retrieves the data for the client.
