Execute a Query Against a Database

You can run your query against a database catalog. To do this, you connect to the database from the Query Tool and then execute your query.

Follow this process to run a query against a database:

After your query executes, the results display in the Results box. Use other features in the Query Tool to save the query or save your result set.

Note: You cannot be connected to erwin ODBC and a database at the same time in the Query Tool. If you are connected to erwin ODBC, the (database) Connect icon is dimmed. Click the Disconnect ODBC_Disconnect icon on the toolbar to disconnect your erwin ODBC connection before you attempt to connect to a database. Also, before you can make a database connection, the appropriate database client software must be installed. See Database Connection Overview for more information.
