SUMMARY
=======

Use the DISPLAY DATABASE command in the Command window to display the settings
of all View and Connection properties for saved views. You can send the same
information to a file by using this command:

     LIST DATA TO FILE <filename>

MORE INFORMATION
================

On the Query menu, click View SQL to see what's happening behind the scenes when
you make selections in four of the five tabs in the View Designer. Selections
you make on the fifth tab (Update Criteria) change the settings of view
properties stored in the database (.dbc) file, so they are not reflected in the
SQL SELECT statement that defines the view.

Other settings that you can set from the Query designer but not see in the SQL
SELECT statement are connection properties set by clicking Advanced Options on
the Query menu.

To see the setting of properties for views and connections in a database, save
the view, and then use the DISPLAY DATA command. You must save the view before
you are able to see view or connection property settings.
