Graphics Builder lets you to create interactive graphical displays of the data in a database. You can include these graphics in your forms or reports.  Graphics Builder provides a complete set of drawing and editing tools, along with a “Chart Wizard” to simplify the process of using the tools.

In this Hands-On, you learn how to:  Create a chart, Write a query, Execute a query, Modify a query, and Save a chart.

You will create a chart to show a salary distribution in each department.

Open the “Graphics Builder” tool.

Click "execute" and login as iself password “schooling” then click “CONNECT.”

Check the query.

Click “OK.”

Type the chart’s name and it's title (Salary Distributions).

This is the chart.

Change the department number to department name.

Click on the “SQL” icon.

Click “Yes,” to remove the department number from the chart.

This is much easier to understand, than the previous chart.

Good Luck.
