If you are familiar with SQL queries or if you want to use other options of the ADABAS server in addition to the database queries, or if you simply want to make an ad-hoc query, you can select the
Direct SQL Dialog with the ADABAS server. To do so, first connect to the desired database (see Section Connecting to the Database). Then you can select the
Direct item in the Database menu or the~ 
~ toolbar button.
In the following window, you can formulate your SQL statement. To execute it, select Execute. If your SQL query produces a result, this is displayed in a new window. If you want to reuse your SQL statement at a later point in time, save it with Save (see Section SQL Dialog).
