How to query the database?

Firstly, make sure your last run of experiment was successful, in which case, the response time frame should have shown up. Secondly, bring up the experiment setup window. Then click on DBCheck Setup tab on the top of  Experiment frame,  a tabbed pane shall be displayed:

 

then enter your database query in plain SQL statement, try to make your query succinct in both the query itself and the results, as TPPT will only display the first 100 tupules returned from any query. Make sure your SQL statement is correct, then simply click the  icon on the tool bar to start your query. Or, you may choose "Check Database Status" from the submenu under "Edit" on the tool menu.

   Save your Database query

To save your database query,  click on the "save" button on checkDB Setup pane. A file chooser will come up which you can use to save the current experimental setting including database query.

   Update your Database query

If you just entered a new query or made a change to your existing database query, you may "inform" the TPPT tool by pressing the "Update" button. If successful, a pop-up window should appear.
