Extended Query Save

Save and load extended query

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).
