Removing Columns from the Query

If you no longer want to use a column in a query, you can remove it. If you do, the Query Designer removes references to the column in the select list, the sort specification, the search criteria, SQL pane, and any grouping specifications.

Note   If you want to remove a column from just the output of a Select query, you can do so without removing it from the query altogether. For details, see Removing Columns from Query Output.

To remove a column from the query

  • In the Grid pane, select the grid row containing the column you want to remove and then press DELETE.

-or-

  • Remove all references to the column in the SQL pane.
