The Analyze Query window enables you to

  • Interrogate and update data in a database using SQL syntax and semantics.

  • Experiment with the Query Processor call-level interface (CLI) without having to write a COBOL or ALGOL program.

  • Obtain diagnostic information about queries for purposes of optimization and to send to Unisys support for analysis.

  • Use different character sets than the ClearPath MCP coded character set.

  • Control the access rights to the database for users by defining permissions.

Through the Analyze Query window, you can enter and execute the following SQL statements and view their results:

  • CALL

  • DELETE

  • INSERT

  • SELECT

  • UPDATE

You can also enter the following permissions commands to control access rights to the database:

  • GRANT

  • REVOKE

  • LIST PERMISSIONS

For information on how to specify permissions, see

You can also enter commands to dynamically alter the schema of a database as described in Section 2 of the Relational Database Server for ClearPath MCP Query Processor Programming Guide.

The Analyze Query window has two panes: a text pane and a results pane.
