Saving Query Results to a Local File

Using the Query Execution Dialog, users can opt to save the results returned to a local file instead of having the results displayed in a pop-up dialog. Saving the results in this manner is for convenience when users would like to review query results using a separate editor.

To save the results from executing a Query Definition to a local file, select the check box labeled Result as File prior to executing the query.
