Good afternoon,

 

One of the added features of Ax2009 is the improved AOT Query.

 

AOT Query objects can now be dragged and dropped onto a form’s datasource, at which point datasources corresponding to the tables in the Query will be automatically added to the Form, with the proper joins and links. When doing this, a reference to that Form will be inserted under the AOT Query object, under a new node called ‘Dependant Objects’. This way you can know where a particular Query is used. Queries now support ‘Composite Queries’, I haven’t played with that much yet, but it seems to make possible combining Queries together by drag and drop. (after playing with it seems to be just a way of inheriting from another query to allow reusability, it doens’t seem to ‘union’ or ‘join’ multiple queries)

 

Neat, but not revolutionary, it was already possible to use AOT Queries on forms back since Ax 2.5 at least, this makes it much more developer friendly though.

 

The build we currently have (459) is definitely more stable than previous ones, but I wouldn’t call it perfect still.
