    Create a Query

    Define a query based on the selected data source. See New Data Worksheet Dialog Box in Create a Data Worksheet for further instructions.

    Start from Scratch

    Open a blank Data Worksheet to build data blocks from fields of the selected data source. See Create Data Blocks in Create a Data Worksheet for further instructions.

  7. Verify that the data source you added is shown with a “check” icon submit, indicating that the connection was successful.

    If the database is shown with an ‘Error’ icon alert circle, this means that the connection was not successful.

    In this case, check the settings to make sure they are correct for your database. See Edit a Connection for information on how to change connection settings.

After you have created a connection to the database, you can proceed to define a data set. See Stripe Query.
