Toolbar

The Toolbar provides the user with visual shortcuts to commonly used menu selections.

New creates a new empty buffer named 'scratch' and makes it the currently displayed buffer in the SQL Command Window. See: File Menu, Buffers Menu

Open displays an open file dialog and allows the user to select a SQL script file to edit or execute. The file is opened in a new buffer and displayed in the SQL Command Window, the file name is added to the application's title bar and the menu buffers list. See: File Menu, Buffers Menu

Save writes the currently displayed buffer in the SQL Command Window to a file. If the buffer is unamed, the user is prompted to enter a file name in a file save dialog box. If the buffer was created from an existing file, the file is updated. See: File Menu, Buffers Menu

Print displays a dialog box prompting the user to enter the destination printer for the currently displayed buffer. See: File Menu, Buffers Menu

Execute runs the SQL statements in the buffer currently displayed in the SQL Command Window. Highlighted selections are executed or if there are no selections, all statements in the buffer are executed. To cancel the currently running query, click the query button again or use Ctrl-Z. When a query is executing, the query button displays a red 'X' indicating that you can use it to cancel the query. See: Query Menu, Buffers Menu

Spool displays a dialog box prompting the user to enter a filename to spool the query results to. This does not enable spooling, it only sets the file that data should be spooled to. See: Options Menu
