Define SQL Code Generation Criteria for a View

You can use the Clauses tab in the View Editor to specify the search conditions and criteria used to generate the SQL code for a view.

To define SQL code generation criteria for a view

1. Right-click the view for which you want to define SQL code generation criteria and click View Properties.

   The View Editor opens.

2. Click the Clauses tab and work with the following options:

   Where

   Lets you enter the search condition that must be satisfied by the results of the view query. The text you enter becomes the WHERE clause in the SQL code that is generated for the selected view.

   Group By

   Lets you enter the criteria that you want to use to group rows returned by the view query. The text you enter becomes the GROUP BY clause in the SQL code that is generated for the selected view.

   Having

   Lets you enter the search condition that is applied to each row group, and filter out rows that do not meet the specified search condition. The text you enter becomes the HAVING clause in the SQL code that is generated for the selected view.

   Note: This option is only available if your target DBMS supports the HAVING clause.

3. Click Close.

   SQL code generation criteria is defined for the selected view and the View Editor closes.
