This area is a basic text editor of XQuery source code, performing syntax coloring.
A file can be loaded in the editor through the menu
→ , and conversely the source code can be saved with menu → .Specifying the path of a XQuery source file in the command-line of Qizx Studio will automatically load the file. This happens if the file extension (in principle .xq
) has been associated with the Qizx Studio application, depending on the Operating System used.
The editor has several buttons and controls in the tool-bar above:
The button Execute compiles the current query and evaluates it. During execution the button changes to
Stop.
The result sequence is displayed in the Result View. A message in the Message View below tells the number of items in the result sequence, and the time in milliseconds taken by the evaluation.
A lengthy evaluation can be canceled with the button Stop . No results are displayed.
