HighlanderSword Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Has anyone designed a query builder tool? I searched the forums and could not find one. Looking to see if anyone has built something that allows user to select the database, then it populates a form with all of the fields of a desired table and' then present the user with filter options like field name like , order by statements etc... Wanted to check before i build my own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skysnake Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I am a bit lost as to what you really want Have you looked at the AutoIt SQLite functions? https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/_SQLite_Startup.htm Then ADO.UDF allows you to create an ADO friendly ODBC link to SQLite db's Perhaps a bit more clarity on what the plan is?

Skysnake Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Cool 1. What level is your SQL? 2. What is your experience with AutoIt? Is this in line with your expectation? See this by GreenCan This is a very simple example of data from SQLite to a Listview Skysnake Skysnake Why is the snake in the sky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchd Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) From what I understand from the OP's posts, he wants to create an SQL[ite] query builder allowing SQL-illiterate users to click on GUI components to assemble a valid SQL query to perform the operation(s) expected. More or less generic SQL builder are available, payware or freeware, but this isn't a simple task. In fact, beyond very simple queries, things turn out to be very complex and if you insist on efficiency, then you need some level of IA.

Earthshine Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Yeah good luck with that. Unless you have extreme SQL skills I doubt this is going to be a successful project My resources are limited. You must ask the right questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertocm Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Just for ideas: i'm using these tools for learning sql: - HeidiSQL - my attached excel file with vba code: double click event in the body of tables execute sql in the above table (see sheet module). Copy both tables for running new examples. SQL_workbench.xlsm Edited November 2, 2021 by robertocm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
