QueryPlus provides you with several ways of communicating with the database. After connecting to the database, you can send SQL statements to the database, make queries, and create object links.
For this purpose, the following toolbar is available:

The toolbar buttons have the following meanings:
Cutting selected text while editing SQL statements (see Section Edit Menu).
Copying selected text into the clipboard while editing SQL statements (see Section Edit Menu).
Pasting text from the clipboard while editing SQL statements (see Section Edit Menu).
Undoing the last modification while editing SQL statements (see Section Edit Menu).
When viewing results or when defining a query in the Query description window, you can see and edit the individual fields in a separate window. For this purpose, you can move the
mouse pointer to the desired field and press the right mouse button, then select Zoom (see Section Edit Menu)
Dialog for Direct SQL Statements
Direct SQL statements are used to formulate and subsequently execute SQL statements. You can execute SQL statements or queries directly and save the direct SQL statement for later use (see Section Direct SQL Dialog).
SQL Dialog
The SQL Dialog is used to execute already formulated and saved SQL statements or to formulate and save new SQL statements. In addition, you can modify or delete existing SQL statements (see Section SQL Dialog).
Query Dialog
The Query Dialog is used to execute already designed and saved queries, i.e., search requests, or to design and save new queries. In addition, you can modify or delete existing queries (see Section Query Dialog).
Creating MS-Word Links
In this context, linking means that the data desired for the document is stored in the database, whereas the particular position is stored in the document (see Section MS-Word Link).
Creating MS-Excel Links
In this context, linking means that the data desired for the table (i.e., the linked queries or SQL statements) is stored in the database, whereas the particular position is stored in the table (see Section MS-Excel Link).
Sharing Objects
The SQL statements, queries, MS-Word, and MS-Excel links you created are only accessible to you. You have the option of sharing these objects with other users (see Section Sharing Objects ).
Stopping Sharing
This button can be used to display the objects you made accessible to other users and to stop the sharing procedure (see Section Stop Sharing).
Requesting Help
This button can be used to start the QueryPlus help. To request context-specific help, if available, use the
