Use this pane to write or update a query using Transact-SQL.ĭisplays the results of the query. Use this pane to define aliases, sort order, filters, groups, and parameters.ĭisplays the Transact-SQL query represented by the diagram and Grid panes. Use this pane to select fields and define relationships between tables.ĭisplays a list of fields returned by the query. Paneĭisplays graphic representations of the tables in the query. The following table describes the function of each pane. The following figure shows the four panes. You can view the query text generated from your selections, run the query, and view the result set. You can specify columns, aliases, sort values, and filter values for a Transact-SQL query. In Text type, the graphical query designer presents four areas, or panes. The underlying data provider must support a command type before the option is available. Not all data processing extensions support all types. To use this option, you must have been granted Execute permissions on the stored procedure by the database administrator on the data source. StoredProcedure Supports calls to stored procedures on the data source. For example, for a table named Customers, this is the equivalent of the Transact-SQL statement SELECT * FROM Customers. TableDirect Selects all the columns from the specified table. Text Supports standard Transact-SQL query text for relational database data sources, including data processing extensions for Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. The following options are available for query type:

Before you create a query for your dataset, you must select a command type option on the Query page of the Dataset Properties dialog box. This graphical query designer supports three types of query commands: Text, StoredProcedure, or TableDirect.

For more information about working with specific data source types, see Report Datasets (SSRS). For more information, see Text-based Query Designer User Interface. Use the text-based query designer to specify multiple Transact-SQL statements, complex query or command syntax, and expression-based queries. Use the graphical query designer to interactively build a query and view the results for data source types SQL Server, Oracle, OLE DB, and ODBC. Reporting Services provides both a graphical query designer and a text-based query designer for creating queries to retrieve data from a relational database for a report dataset in Report Designer.
