[libreoffice-users] Base and SQL statement

2012-07-20 Thread Dan 

 The outline for the FROM clause for a LEFT OUTER JOIN is

FROM “table1 name” LEFT OUTER JOIN “table2 name” ON “table1 
name”.”foreign key” = “table2 name”.”primary key”


 This is what I entered into a query yesterday. Yet, today when I 
edited the query in SQL view I saw


FROM { OJ Persons LEFT OUTER JOIN Orders ON Persons.P_ID = 
Orders.P_ID }


 Braces and OJ were added. This is using LO 3.5.5.3. I got a 
similar result when using SQL to create a RIGHT OUTER JOIN. Does anyone 
know where this is documented? It appears Base is adding this for 
clarity. Should this be included this in the documentation?

Dan,

I see similar behavior with MSSQL Server and other db's. It probably 
should be mentioned that FROM and WHERE clauses will be parsed to show 
the best guess of what query should be and that text strings may be 
highlighted. It is somewhat useful for debugging a query but it could 
confuse a beginner who has not seen this before.

Hi Dan

The use of ODBC conventions, '{ OF' for example, is controlled with an
option on the ODB file.

Open the ODB.
Open the dialog for options:
EditDatabaseAdvanced Options

 Thanks!

 Is it a good idea to have the three conventions checked that are 
listed there? Why or why not?
