Database Query Command in 21

[poco2013]

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this-- BUT??

In Archicad 21, trying to find the Database SQL "Query" Command. This menu command was in all previous versions of Archicad under the Calculate menu structure (theme) - #16. Wondering if it was removed, relocated or renamed??

SQL is no longer officially supported.

It seems the 'Query' command is no longer in the work environment although I believe some SQL does still work.
I may be wrong about that as I don't use it.
So I don't know how you would invoke it now if you can at all.

I just checked a bit further.
The 'Query' command was available in version 20 but has been removed from the Work Environment in version 21.

Thanks for the response.

Actually I never used it for anything practical , but did use it as a learning tool to investigate and understand Archicad's database organization and available attributes.

Hopefully, it was just removed because their going to come up with something better. I'll miss it as a quick learn.

Archicad seems to be going the direction of developing properties for elements rather than one massive catchall database -- Which I would also prefer, but we need a better method to program and control properties outside of a database or the API. Wishes?? Particularly if the SQL query path is now gone.??
