Hi Andrew, Hi Gary,

Uhm, sorry, but functions and primary keys are completely unrelated.

Which of the functions appear in the query design depends on "database
engine". For Spreadsheets, this basically means it depends on the
component (the driver) which translates a spreadsheet into database-like
data.

However, I'm surprised that only "no function" is shown - at least
"Count" should be (and for me: is) available.

gary, feel free to submit a request for enhancement in IssueZilla
requesting more functions - I fear at the moment it's simply not
possible to use anything except Count.

The availability of functions is also not related to the HSQLDB engine -
HSQLDB and the Spreadsheet driver are completely independent.
