The query property of a Select bean, the action property of a Modify bean and the
procedure property of a ProcedureCall bean are three examples of what we generically refer
to as data properties. The two parts of a data property are:
- Connection alias
- Specifies database connection characteristics for the bean
- SQL specification
- Specifies an SQL statement for the bean
To edit a data property:
- Open the property sheet for a Select, Modify or ProcedureCall bean by double-clicking on
the bean.
- Select the query, action or procedure property
value and click on the box in the value field. The data property editor displays.

- Create a connection alias or select an existing connection alias.
- Create an SQL specification or select an existing SQL specification.
