Creating a query condition

The query needs a query condition so that the query extracts only result rows with a given customer social security number. We add conditions to the query by using the Conditions page in the Design pane.

To create a query condition:

In the Design pane, select the Conditions tab.

In the first row, click the cell in the Column column and select C.LAST_NAME in the list.

In the same row, click the cell in the Operator column, and select the LIKE operator.

In that row, click the cell in the Value column, and enter %u%.

A colon followed by a variable name is the SQL syntax for a host variable that will be substituted with a value when you run the query.

The Conditions page is shown in Figure | -15.
