Hi Horst,

The automated database queries don't currently provide
for a method to place 'variables' inside the SQL
query.

For now the easiest way to achieve dynamic queries is
to save a template query somewhere, and fill in the
dynamic parts, then update the SQL of the query using
the undocumented command "'revSetSQLOfQuery <name of
the query>,<sql statement>".
An example :
##
on mouseUp
  put "123456" into tCustomerID # or some field data
  put "SELECT * FROM orders WHERE customerid='" & \
         tCustomerID & "'" into tSQLStatement
  revSetSQLOfQuery "orders",tSQLStatement
end mouseUp
##

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
