The Columns tab of the Query Designer allows
you to tune various properties of the selected table columns for SELECT, UPDATE, and
DELETE queries: selection grouping and positions, update values, and sorting.

The Columns tab contains a tree list, where parent nodes correspond
to tables, and sub-nodes correspond to columns. The cell editors allow you to adjust
the following query column parameters:
- Output Alias (SELECT) - an alias for column
to display in the result grid. This alias must be unique within the query.
- Total (SELECT) - defines conditions for grouping
the result records. Note, that using functions like Count,
Avg, Max, Min in queries
with more than one column requires another column to have Group By function.
- Sorting (SELECT, DELETE) - this option sets the
way of sorting the result query records in the specified column. The default
value is None, select Ascending or Descending
to apply the respective sorting.
- Update Value (UPDATE) - sets the column values to replace those, matching the update criteria in the query tables.
