Build Queries with Drag and Drop from the Data Source Explorer View

When a query is edited in the XQuery editor, the XPath expressions can be composed quickly by dragging them from the Data Source Explorer view and dropping them into the editor panel.
  1. Configure the data source drivers for the particular relational database in the Data Sources preferences page.
  2. Configure the connection for the particular relational database in the Data Sources preferences page.
  3. Browse the connection in the Data Source Explorer view, expanded to the table or column that you want to insert in the query.
  4. Drag the table or column name to the XQuery editor panel.
  5. Drop the table or column name where the XPath expression is needed.
An XPath expression that selects the dragged name is inserted in the XQuery document at the cursor position.
