About the SQL Whiteboard
The SQL Whiteboard allows you to enter and execute SQL statements from within HPDM and
provides execution information for each of the SQL statements.
The list of SQL statements is persisted between HPDM sessions the same way that system
configuration and favorites are persisted in HPDM. Currently, HPDM supports only one instance
of the SQL Whiteboard.
SQL statements can be parameterized by embedding parameter names surrounded by double
dollar signs ($$). When the statement is executed, the SQL Whiteboard requests the values for
the parameters in the statement and easily allows you to reuse recent values for those parameters.
