Query Design Bar
When creating or editing an SQL query, use the icons in the Query Design Bar to control the display of data.

Runs the SQL query and displays the query result. The Run Query function does not save the query.
Clears the query and removes all tables from the design window.
Displays the design view or the SQL view of the query.
Switch Design View On/Off

Displays the Table row in the lower part of the Query Design.
Displays the Alias row in the lower part of the Query Design.

The following icon is on the SQL tab page:
In Native SQL mode you can enter SQL commands that are not interpreted by Collabora Office, but are instead passed directly to the data source. If you do not display these changes in the design view, you cannot change back to the design view.
