The SQL query will work only with the following field type:

- select
- select multiple

In the parameters of these fields you have :
Use SQL Query (set Yes)
And write your query in the field 'Field Elements'

Syntax :
Code:
Select ... as value, ... as text from ...

It will generate a select list with the returned rows of your query.

I hope it will help you
