Once your tables are created and populated with data, you are ready to write queries that answer questions about your data. SQLWizard's Query Design facility assists both new and experienced users in writing SQL statements by providing interactive windows, online help, syntax checking, and access to database object information.

If you prefer, you can type and edit SQL statements yourself using the SQL Edit window. A key feature is the ability to execute SQL statements that contain host variables directly from SQLWizard. With support for cut/copy/paste (using the clipboard), you can copy SQL code directly from your host programs, paste it into an SQL Edit window, and test the SQL without having to execute the host program. Likewise, you can use SQLWizard's Query Design facility to create your queries, switch to the SQL Edit window, and copy/paste the SQL statement to your COBOL program.
