Connecting to SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server supports two authentication modes:

Windows authentication mode (Windows authentication) - allows users to connect via

Windows NT account. When the users try to connect via Windows authentication
(Trusted connection), SQL Server will do a callback to the Windows operating system
to validate the account before it allows or denies connection.
Mixed mode (Windows authentication and SQL Server authentication) - users can use
either Windows authentication or SQL Server authentication. When users try to
connect via nontrusted connection (SQL Server authentication), SQL Server will check
its internal database to validate the login and password.

Note: Windows authentication is not used when SQL Server is installed on Win9x.

Server: 10.21.106.216
UID: qareport_usr
Password: qareport_usr

Executing a Query
Upon a successful connection to SQL Server, QALite will present the user with a query
window. This is where the user can enter any Transact-SQL statements of his or her choice
and execute it against the connected server. More information on Transact-SQL can be found
here.

QALite supports various outputs, such as to grid, text, flat or xml file, for any given query. As
shown below, the user can either select the option from the Query menu or through various
shortcut keys. The default is "Result in Grid".

Once an output method has been selected, a query can be executed by one of the following:
1. Select "Execute" from Query menu
2. Press the green arrow button on toolbar
3. Press "F5" or "CTRL+E" shortcut keys

Result to Grid
When "Result to Grid" option is selected, the result of a query is retrieved from the database
and displayed in a datagrid. This is the *fastest* method of displaying a resultset as there is no
consequent formatting done once the resultset is fetched.

Result to Text
When "Result to Text" option is selected, the result of a query is retrieved from the database
and will be displayed in a textbox. To change this view of result go to
Query (in menu bar) then select result to text
Because some processing is required to format and align each column of the resultset, getting
a result for a query might seem a bit slower. However, displaying the resultset in text allows
the user to force a conversion of "system.byte[]" array, which is a default datatype for binary,
varbinary, and image columns, to a hexadecimal string. QALite will convert the first 255
bytes if the option "Force Byte[] to Hexadecimal" is checked.

Result to File
When "Result to File" option is selected, the user will be prompted to specify a filename and a
format (flat or xml file) for the result of a query to be saved. If the user enters an invalid name
or chooses "cancel", the query will not be executed.

To change this result option, do this following action

Query (in menu bar) then select result to File

Object Browser
QALite provides access to SQL Server objects through its Object Browser tree.

The user can drill down the tree and quickly access detail information about a database object.
The Object Browser tree also provides access to many useful functions simply by right
clicking on a tree node (object) and selecting a desired option from the context menu.

Getting Detail Info

One of QALite features is the ability to get *detail* information about a SQL Server object.
This is done simply by:

Selecting an object (tree node)

Right clicking on the object and selecting "Detail..." from the context menu or

Selecting "Detail Info" from Tools menu

Generating DDL and Insert statements

Among many other useful features QALite is offering, generating Data Definition Language
(ddl) (often understood as a SQL statement that is used to create an object) can be as simple as
just a few mouse clicks away. QALite supports a ddl generation of a single object (i.e. a
database, table, view, stored procedure, extended procedure, and function) or a group of
objects (i.e. tables, views, stored procedures, extended procedures, and functions) in a single
batch.

Selecting an object (tree node)

Rightclicking the object and selecting "Create..." from the context menu or

Selecting "Create" from Tools menu

To make it easier for users to recreate and transfer data from a table to a new one, QALite
offers users the ability to generate ddl and insert statements in a single batch. This can be
accomplished by:

Selecting an object (tree node)

Rightclicking the object and selecting "DDL & Insert" from the context menu or

Selecting "DDL & Insert" from Tools menu

Edititing Data
QALite allows the user to view and perform data entry directly to a table, provided that the
table has a primary key. QALite does not allow editing of a system table or a view in this
version.
To start data entry:

Select/highlight a table/view (tree node) from the Object Browser window

Right click and select "Open/Edit" from the context menu or

Select "Open/Edit" from Tools menu

If the column of interest is an Image (blob) column, QALite makes it easy for the user to
upload or download the content. To upload or download blobs:

Right click on the cell of interest and select either "Upload" or "Download" from the
context menu or
Select the cell of interest and select either "Upload" or "Download" from Tools menu

Note: The changes do not save to the database until "Update" button is clicked.

Comparing Databases
Comparing two databases' objects has never been easier than now with QALite. With a few
mouse clicks the user will be presented with a list of differences between two databases. The
findings can then be printed or saved for later use.

Comparing an Object's Schema

The Tools menu of QALite offers a wide range of tasks that the user can perform within
QALite.

For example, comparing an object's schema is as simple as selecting "Object Schema

Compare". A window will materialize and allow the user to select any source/target database,
table, view, stored procedure, and function to compare.
Once the target object is selected, the result is then displayed in various colors denoting the
findings.

Comparing Script Files

Comparing script files (or any text files) could not be easier when using QALite. The user can
simply select "Script Compare" from the Tools menu to bring up the selection screen. Note:
The user needs not be connected to a SQLServer to use this feature.
Once the source and target files have been specified, click the "Compare" button to signal the
comparation process. The result is displayed in the bottom section. Double click on any line to
quickly browse to the differences.

Creating Custom Shortcuts for Commonly Used Commands

QALite allows up to ten (10) custom shortcuts to be created for any T-SQL statements. To
define a custom shortcut:

Select "Options" from Query menu

Select "Shortcut" tab

Enter any valid T-SQL for the predefined shortcut key

Click "OK" to save

Other Commonly Used Tasks

File menu provides access to some of the common tasks, such as:

Connect/Disconect to/from a SQL Server

Create a new Query Window

Load a SQL script to execute

Save a SQL script, result, and report for later use

Setup, preview, and print a script, result, report

Exit the application
