ComponentOne Query 1.0 is an elegant solution for ad hoc querying. Until now, developers wishing to incorporate ad hoc querying into applications faced challenges ranging from how to develop all imaginable queries in advance to working with a rigid user interface. Those problems no longer exist because ComponentOne Query 1.0:

• Collects end-user input and generates an SQL query or an ADO Filter condition at run time. This means you can add ad hoc query functionality to your applications and make it directly available to end-users, instead of preparing all imaginable queries beforehand at design time.

• Shields end-users from the complexities of database structure. End-users can construct their queries using convenient names and business concepts that they already know. Your users don't require any special skills in order to use ComponentOne Query 1.0 in an application or need to be aware that the tool was used to create the application.

• Provides a built-in user interface that makes implementing ad hoc functionality as easy as dropping two controls on a form. You can use the interface as is, or readily customize it using templates and other easy-to-use options. You are no longer forced to use an interface that doesn't suit your needs!

• Contains a powerful query generation engine that supports queries spanning multiple tables. This means that you can create schemas exposing database fields to your users in a customized form by specifying relationships between tables.

ComponentOne Query 1.0 can be used with Visual Basic® 6.0, Visual C++® 6.0, Delphi™ 5.0, C++ Builder™ 5.0, Internet Explorer®, and other environments supporting ActiveX controls.
