The complete query schema may be saved into an XML file
using the button
, which opens a dialog window to enter the file
name and location. By default the schema file name is generated as:
<working directory>\ExtendedQuery\DescriptionQuery_<Database name>_<Project>.xml
The XML schema file includes information concerning the
database, the project and the query parameter. By pressing the
button in the Query parameter section, a query schema file can
be opened. If the schema does not meet the active database you will be informed
by a message box. In the query file all relevant parameter are identified by the
database internal numeric IDs. If no matching values are found, it is tried to get
them by their names. Since the names might be ambigious, the corresponding element
are displayed with a yellow background colour (see image
below).
If the parameter could not even be assigned by their names, this is indicated by a red background color (see picture below).
