Visual Query Editor support for Local Interbase Server
I agree.I can't find the Visual Query Builder very useful.
The reason I purchased it was exactly to make writing complex joins,
including outer joins, easier. I do not need a visual query builder with
only support for 'simple' inner joins.
I've not found anything in the documentation indicating outer joins are
not supported.However, like you, I've not been able to get it to work!
Not with Interbase, not with Paradox/dBase, not with Watcom SQL, and not
with SQL Anywhere.
IMHO, the Visual Query Builder seems like an "unfinished" product.
Any other experieces are _very_ welcome!
Is this the same VQE as included in the client/server version (I use
developer)?
I'm sure it must work well there?
