+        of an existing value), the #Settings property wraps the #Info
+        property for easier single-value access.</p>
+
+        <p>You should use the #Settings property if you need to access a few properties only,
+        and the #Info property if you need access to all existent settings at once.</p>
+
+        <p>The object represented by this property supports the com::sun::star::beans::PropertyBag
+        service. That is, you can at runtime add arbitrary new properties to the bag.</p>
+
+        <p>Additionally, the property bag supports default values of properties, and thus the
+        com::sun::star::beans::XPropertyState interface. If you add an own property to
+        the bag using com::sun::star::beans::XPropertyContainer::addProperty(), you need
+        to specify an initial value, which is also used as default value (exceptions see below).</p>
+
+        <p>Effectively, the property bag represented by <code>Settings</code> contains two classes of properties:
+        Pre-defined ones and user-defined ones.</p>
+
+        <p><em>Pre-defined</em> properties are properties which are potentially used by the data source, the
+        application UI for the data source, or a particular backend driver employed by the data source. There's
+        a large set of such properties, no all of them are effectively used for a concrete data source, nonetheless,
+        they're all present in the <code>Settings</code>.<br/>
+        Such properties are not removable from the bag, that is, their
+        com::sun::star::beans::PropertyAttribute::REMOVABLE attribute is <em>not</em> set.<br/>
+        Usually, you'll find that all of this properties have the
+        com::sun::star::beans::PropertyState::PropertyState_DEFAULT_VALUE state.</p>
+
+        <p><em>User-defined</em> properties are the ones which are added at runtime by any instance. They might or might
+        not be removable, this depends on whether or not the code adding them specifies the
+        com::sun::star::beans::PropertyAttribute::REMOVABLE attribute. Also, they might
+        or might not have a default value, determined by the
+        com::sun::star::beans::PropertyAttribute::MAYBEDEFAULT attribute at the time they're added
+        to the bag.</p>
+
+        <p>When a data source is made persistent, then properties which are not removable (which are assumed to be the
+        pre-defined properties) are ignored when they are in <code>DEFAULT</code> state. All other properties are
+        always made persistent, except when an explicit
+        com::sun::star::beans::PropertyAttribute::TRANSIENT attribute prohibits this.</p>
+
+        <p>Similar, when you obtain the #Info property of a <code>DataSource</code>, the
+        <code>Settings</code> bag is asked for all its property values, and the ones which are removable and
+        in state default are stripped, and <em>not</em> returned in the <code>Info</code> sequence.</p>

+/** implements a component which allows browsing the data sources registered on the system.
+
+    <p>
+    This service implements a user interface for browsing data sources registered on the
+    com::sun::star::sdb::DatabaseContext
+    instance of the system.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+    It is possible to navigate through all the data sources, it's queries and it's tables.
+    The queries/tables can be displayed in a grid-like view, where functionality for searching,
+    sorting, filtering, and such is provided.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+    Usually, you won't instantiate this service directly, instead you use the dispatch mechanisms
+    of the application framework to load the URL <b>.component:DB/DataSourceBrowser</b> into an arbitrary
+    frame. This should involve a
+    com::sun::star::sdb::ContentLoader
+    service, which creates and initializes
+    the browser.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+    Some aspects of the browser can be controlled from outside, e.g.,
+    it is possible to dispatch a sort or filter
+    request, if a table or query is being displayed.
+    </p>
+
+    <p
+    >The communication between the browser and external instances works in two ways.
+    <br/>
+    The way <em>in</em> is provided by the
+    com::sun::star::frame::XDispatchProvider
+    interface the service exports (Please see below for more details on this).
+    <br/>
+    The way <em>out</em> works in another way. There are several URLs which an external
+    instance can provide dispatches for (usually by implementing a
+    com::sun::star::frame::XDispatchProviderInterceptor
+    for the parent frame of the browser), thus indicating that the browser should provide special functionality.
+    <br/>
+    In this case, the browser displays and maintains some additional slots (to be more concrete: toolbox items), which,
+    upon triggering, call the
+    com::sun::star::frame::XDispatch::dispatch() method of the object
+    provided by the external instance.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+        In particular, the supported URLs for communicating to an external instance are:
+        <ul>
+            <li><b>.uno:DataSourceBrowser/InsertColumns</b>
+            <br/>
+            Available whenever an external instance provides a dispatcher (
+            com::sun::star::frame::XDispatch)
+            for this URL.
+            <br/>
+            Enabled, if at least one row in the grid view of a table or query is selected.
+            <br/>
+            It is the task of the external instance to provide functionality for this URL, but usually it is used
+            to implement some kind of "Data To Text" functionality.
+            <br/>
+            </li>
+            <li><b>.uno:DataSourceBrowser/InsertContent</b>
+            <br/>
+            Available whenever an external instance provides a dispatcher(
+            com::sun::star::frame::XDispatch
+            ) for this URL.
+            <br/>
+            Enabled, if at least one row in the grid view of a table or query is selected.
+            <br/>
+            It is the task of the external instance to provide functionality for this URL, but usually it is used
+            to implement some kind of "Data To Fields" functionality.
+            <br/>
+            </li>
+            <li><b>.uno:DataSourceBrowser/FormLetter</b>
+            <br/>
+            Available whenever an external instance provides a dispatcher (
+            com::sun::star::frame::XDispatch) for this URL.
+            <br/>
+            It is the task of the external instance to provide functionality for this URL, but usually it is used
+            to implement some kind of "Form Letter" functionality.
+            <br/>
+            </li>
+        </ul>
+    </p>
+    <p>For all kinds of URLs, the parameters supplied during dispatching build up a DataAccessDescriptor,
+    where the following properties are present:
+    <ul>
+        <li>DataAccessDescriptor::DataSourceName</li>
+        <li>DataAccessDescriptor::Command</li>
+        <li>DataAccessDescriptor::CommandType</li>
+        <li><em>optional</em> DataAccessDescriptor::Selection</li>
+        <li><em>optional</em> DataAccessDescriptor::BookmarkSelection</li>
+        <li><em>optional</em> DataAccessDescriptor::ResultSet</li>
+    </ul>
+    </p>
+    <p>The default for DataAccessDescriptor::Selection is to contain bookmarks, if not specified
+    otherwise by DataAccessDescriptor::BookmarkSelection.

+            In the case you want to use this feature of the handler, you should supply a special continuation
+            (com::sun::star::sdb::XInteractionSupplyParameters) as well, so the

+/** implements a component which allows the creation of SQL statements.
+
+    <p>This service implements a user interface for creating SQL statements either through a graphical design
+    interface or simply to enter the SQL statement directly.</p>
+
+    <p>The design view of the QueryDesign is divided into two parts. The first part contains the table windows
+    where columns can be selected for the SQL statement. The second part contains the columns which should appear
+    in the selection of the SQL statement or criteria which narrow the query.</p>
+
+    <h3>Operation Modes</h3>
+
+    <p>A <code>QueryDesign</code> component has 3 operation modes, which control what kind of object is edited:
+    <ul><li><a name="query_mode"></a><b>Query Mode</b>
+        <p>In <code>Query Mode</code>, the designer is used to modify an existing or create a new client-side
+        query.</p></li>
+
+        <li><a name="view_mode"</a><b>View Mode</b>
+        <p>In <code>View Mode</code>, the designer is used to modify an existing or create a new server-side
+        view.</p>
+        <p>The view which is being designed must support the com::sun::star::sdbcx::XAlterView
+        interface, except when a new view is being designed. In the latter case, the designer closes itself
+        automatically when <code>XAlterView</code> is not supported, and the view has been saved.</p></li>
+
+        <li><a name="command_mode"</a><b>Command Mode</b>
+        <p>In <code>Command Mode</code>, the designer is used to design an standalone SQL command.</p>
+        <p>The client of the designer is then responsible to listen at changes in the
+        #ActiveCommand and #EscapeProcessing members, which are updated
+        every time the user saves the command.</p></li>
+    </ul></p>
+
+    <h3><a name="initialization"></a>Initialization</h3>
+
+    <p>Initialization is done using the com::sun::star::lang::XInitialization interface,
+    which expects a sequence of objects being either com::sun::star::beans::NamedValues or
+    com::sun::star::beans::PropertyValues. The following parameters are supported at
+    initialization time:
+    <ul>
+        <li><b>Frame</b><br/>
+        has to be a com::sun::star::frame::XFrame interface specifying the frame to plug the
+        QueryDesign component into.<br/>
+        This parameter is mandatory.
+        </li>
+
+        <li><a name="data_source"></a><b>DataSourceName</b><br/>
+        specifies the name of the globally registered DataSource for which a query, view, or SQL
+        command is to be designed.<br/>
+        The DataSourceName may be omitted if and only if a valid <a href="#active_connection">ActiveConnection</a>
+        parameter is present.<br/>
+        If both <code>DataSourceName</code> and <code>ActiveConnection</code> are present, the former
+        is ignored.
+        </li>
+
+        <li><a name="active_connection"></a><b>ActiveConnection</b><br/>
+        specifies the connection to work with.<br/>
+        May be omitted if and only if a valid <a href="#data_source">DataSourceName</a> parameter is supplied.
+        </li>
+
+        <li><a name="command"></a><b>Command</b><br/>
+        specifies the name of the query or view to design, or, in case of the <a href="#command_type">CommandType</a>
+        being CommandType::COMMAND, the initial SQL command.<br/>
+        If this parameter is not present, a new query/view will be designed, respectively the initial
+        command will be empty.
+        </li>
+
+        <li><a name="command_type"></a><b>CommandType</b><br/>
+        specifies the type of object which should be designed. The following options are
+        supported:
+        <ul><li>CommandType::QUERY specifies the designer should operate in
+            <a href="#query_mode">query mode</a>, that is, an existing client-side query should be
+            designed, or a new query should be created, depending on the presence of the
+            <a href="#command">Command</a> parameter.<br/>
+            If the <a href="#data_source">DataSourceName</a> parameter is present, the query is
+            looked up in the specified data source. Otherwise, the designer tries to determine
+            the data source which the <a href="#active_connection">ActiveConnection</a> belongs
+            to, and looks up the query there.</li>
+
+            <li>CommandType::COMMAND specifies the designer should operate in
+            <a href="#command_mode">command mode</a>, that is, a standalone SQL command
+            should be designed. When the user attempts to save the designed SQL statement,
+            the #ActiveCommand and #EscapeProcessing properties
+            of the designer are updated.</li>
+
+            <li>CommandType::TABLE specifies the designer should operate in
+            <a href="#view_mode">view mode</a>, that is, an existing or a new
+            server-side view should be designed, depending on the presence of the
+            <a href="#command">Command</a> parameter.<br/>
+            If the <a href="#data_source">DataSourceName</a> parameter is present, the view is
+            looked up in a newly created connection for the specified data source. Otherwise,
+            it is looked up in the connection given as <a href="#active_connection">ActiveConnection</a>.</li>
+        </ul>
+        If not present, this parameter defaults to CommandType::QUERY.
+        </li>
+
+        <li><b>EscapeProcessing</b><br/>
+        Specifies whether or not escape processing should be initially enabled in the query designer. If set
+        to `FALSE`, then the designer can operate in text view only (as opposed to the graphical view). The
+        <a href="#graphical_design">GraphicalDesign</a> parameter will be ignored then, and assumed to be `FALSE`.<br/>
+        If not present, `TRUE` is assumed for this parameter.</li>
+
+        <li><a name="graphical_design"></a><b>GraphicalDesign</b><br/>
+        This value indicates whether the designer should be opened in the graphical design view
+        (`TRUE`) or in the text view (`FALSE`).<br/>
+        If not present, `FALSE` is assumed for this parameter.
+        </li>
+    </ul>
+    </p>
+
+    <p>There's a number of legacy settings which are recognized for compatibility reasons, though
+    you're discouraged from using them:
+    <ul>
+        <li><b>CurrentQuery</b><br/>
+        is the same as Command, and implies a <a href="#command_type">CommandType</a> of
+        CommandType::QUERY</li>
+
+        <li><b>QueryDesignView</b><br/>
+        is the same as <a href="#graphical_design">GraphicalDesign</a>.</li>
+

+        is the same as Command, and implies a <a href="#command_type">CommandType</a> of
+        CommandType::COMMAND</li>
+
+        <li><b>CreateView</b><br/>

+    <h3>Notifications</h3>
+    <p>A row set is able to be operated in various ways, and additionally it notifies various changes in its
+    state. Clients of this service can rely on a fixed order of notifications, depending on how they operate
+    on the component.<br>
+    The following describes the general order of all possible notifications which you can encounter when
+    working with a row set:
+    <table>
+        <tr><td valign="top"><em>approving</em></td>
+            <td valign="top">Before anything really happens, any veto listeners are called to approve the operation
+                which is just being done. This may be either a
+                XRowSetApproveListener::approveCursorMove() or
+                XRowSetApproveListener::approveRowChange() call.
+                @see XRowSetApproveListener
+            </td>
+        </tr>
+        <tr><td valign="top"><em>column values</em></td>
+            <td valign="top">If the operation includes changes in the values of the columns of the row set, then these are
+            notified before anything else (except requests for approval).
+            @see ResultSet
+            @see com::sun::star::sdbcx::XColumnsSupplier
+            </td>
+        </tr>
+        <tr><td valign="top"><em>operation done</em></td>
+            <td valign="top">When the operation is done, you get a notification about this. It may be a
+            com::sun::star::sdbc::XRowSetListener::cursorMoved() or a
+            com::sun::star::sdbc::XRowSetListener::rowChanged() call or a
+            XRowsChangeListener::rowsChanged() call.
+            </td>
+        </tr>
+        <tr><td valign="top"><em>row state</em></td>
+            <td valign="top">If the operation leads to a change in the state of the #IsModified
+            and/or #IsNew property, this is notified next (in this order).
+            </td>
+        </tr>
+        <tr><td valign="top"><em>row count</em></td>
+            <td valign="top">If the operation leads to new knowledge about the number of rows in the result set,
+            the respective changes in the #RowCount and #IsRowCountFinal
+            are notified last (in this order).

+
+    <h3>Deletions</h3>
+    <p>Via com::sun::star::sdbc::XResultSetUpdate::deleteRow(), you can delete the current row of a
+    RowSet. This deleted row then doesn't vanish immediately, but is still present, and subsequent calls to
+    com::sun::star::sdbc::XResultSet::rowDeleted() will return `TRUE`. The deleted row "vanishes" from
+    the RowSet as soon as the cursor is moved away from it.<br>
+    As a consequence, the behavior of several other methods is affected:<br>
+    <dl>
+        <dt>com::sun::star::sdbc::XResultSet::getRow()</dt>
+        <dd>returns the position of the cursor, which has not been changed by the deletion.</dd>
+
+        <dt>com::sun::star::sdbc::XResultSet: <code>next</code>, <code>first</code>, <code>last</code>, <code>absolute</code>,
+            <code>relative</code>, <code>previous</code>, <code>beforeFirst</code>, <code>afterLast</code></dt>
+        <dd>will let the deleted row vanish from the result set. As a consequence, the #RowCount
+            will decrease when you do such a move operation after deleting a row.<br>
+            A special case to note is the <code>next</code> call: When you delete row, say,
+            <code>15</code>, followed by <code>next</code>, then your RowSet afterwards
+            still is on row 15, since the deleted row vanished with the move operation.</dd>
+
+        <dt>com::sun::star::sdbc::XResultSet::refreshRow()</dt>
+        <dd>will throw an exception when the cursor is on a deleted row.</dd>
+
+        <dt>com::sun::star::sdbc::XRow: <code>getFoo</code></dt>
+        <dd>will return an empty value when the cursor is on a deleted row.</dd>
+
+        <dt>com::sun::star::sdbcx::XRowLocate::getBookmark()</dt>
+        <dd>will throw an exception when the cursor is on a deleted row.</dd>
+
+        <dt>com::sun::star::sdbc::XRowUpdate: <code>updateFoo</code></dt>
+        <dd>will throw an exception when the cursor is on a deleted row.</dd>
+

+
+        <dt>com::sun::star::sdbc::XResultSetUpdate::moveToInsertRow()</dt>
+        <dd>will let the deleted row vanish from the result set. As a consequence, the #RowCount

+        <p>The XSingleSelectQueryAnalyzer is an application-level component,
+        which in some respect understands SQL features usually not present at the database
+        level. As a prominent example, you might pass a <code>SELECT</code> statement to the analyzer
+        which is based on another query.</p>
+
+        <p>While all other methods will handle those additional features transparently - e.g.
+        the query in the <code>FROM</code> part of a <code>SELECT</code> statement will be handled
+        as if it really is a table -, <code>getQueryWithSubstitution</code> gives you the SQL statement
+        where all those features have been stripped, and replaced with appropriate standard SQL.</p>
+
+        <p>For example, consider a database document which contains a client-side query named <code>All Orders</code>.
+        This query is not known to the underlying database, so an SQL statement like
+        <code>SELECT * from "All Orders"</code> would be rejected by the database. However, instantiating
+        a SingleSelectQueryAnalyzer at the Connection object, and passing it the above query,
+        you can then use <code>getQueryWithSubstitution</code> to retrieve a statement where <code>"All Orders"</code>
+        has been replaced with the <code>SELECT</code> statement which actually constitutes the <code>"All Orders"</code>
+        query.</p>
+
+        @throws com::sun::star::sdbc::SQLException
+            if the query represented cannot be completely substituted. A usual case for this is a recursion in
+            the sub queries: Consider a query named <code>foo</code>, which is defined as <code>SELECT * FROM "bar"</code>.
+            Now assume that <code>bar</code> is a query defined as <code>SELECT * FROM "foo"</code>. Passing either
+            of those statements to an analyzer, and calling getQueryWithSubstitution(), would result
+            in an exception being thrown, since it's impossible to substitute the sub queries with their
+            constituting statements.

+
+        <p>If you'd be interested in the composed filter, you would set the
+        QueryDefinition::Command as #ElementaryQuery, add your
+        filter, and propagate the resulting query (XSingleSelectQueryAnalyzer::getQuery())

+    <dd>
+        <p>There are various cases where the wizard needs to interact with the user (except of
+        course the obvious case to display and operate the wizard dialog itself). For those cases,
+        an interaction handler is needed, which is used for
+        <ul>
+            <li>fulfilling parameter requests. This might become necessary if the copy source
+            describes a parametrized query.</li>
+            <li>user interaction in case copying a row fails. If no copy table listener is
+            registered at the wizard, or none of the registered listener handles an error during
+            copying a row, or a registered listeners explicitly tells the wizard to ask the user
+            how to handle the error, then the interaction handler is used together with the
+            error (an <code>SQLException</code>, usually) that happened.</li>
+            <li>displaying other errors which happen during copying, in particular errors in
+            creating the target table or view.</li>
+        </ul></p>
+
+        <p>When you do not specify an interaction handler by using the
+        createWithInteractionHandler() constructor, the wizard will use the interaction
+        handler associated with the copy target, i.e. the interaction handler specified when loading
+        the document which the copy target refers to. If the copy target cannot be associated with
+        a database document (e.g. because it is a mere <code>ConnectionResource</code>, or a connection
+        not obtained from a data source), or if the copy target's database document cannot provide
+        an interaction handler, a newly-created instance of an interaction handler is used.</p>
+
+        <p>There's one exception to the above, however: Upon creating the copy table wizard,
+        the copy source and the copy target descriptors are used to create a Connection. For any
+        interaction during this phase - including, for instance, necessary authentication -, the
+        interaction handler of the respective data source is used, no matter what you specified
+        in createWithInteractionHandler(). Only if there is no such interaction
+        handler, the processing described above, to find another handler, is applied.</p>

+        @param Source
+            the com::sun::star::sdb::DataAccessDescriptor describing the
+            data to copy.
+
+            <p>The following members of the <code>DataAccessDescriptor</code> are supported, and evaluated
+            in the given order:
+            <ol><li><code>ActiveConnection</code></li>
+                <li><code>DataSourceName</code></li>
+                <li><code>DatabaseLocation</code></li>

+                <li><code>CommandType</code></li>
+            </ol>
+            The first 5 items are used to obtain the connection, the last two to determine which
+            of the connection's objects is to be copied. Note that <code>Command</code> and <code>CommandType</code>
+            are required.</p>
+
+            <p>Additionally to the obvious restrictions (such as that creating a view is not possible
+            if the copy source and the copy destination denote different databases), the following restrictions
+            apply to the settings, and possible combinations:
+            <ul><li>Only com::sun::star::sdb::CommandType::TABLE and
+                com::sun::star::sdb::CommandType::QUERY are supported.</li>
+
+                <li>If you specify a <code>ConnectionResource</code>, or an
+                <code>ActiveConnection</code> which implements a com::sun::star::sdbc::Connection only
+                (as opposed to a com::sun::star::sdb::Connection), then the resulting connection is
+                not able to provide queries, thus a command type <code>QUERY</code> will be rejected.</li>
+
+                <li><code>Filter</code>, <code>Order</code>, <code>HavingClause</code> and <code>GroupBy</code>
+                are unsupported at the moment.</li>
+            </ul>
+            Violating any of the above restrictions will result in an error at creation time.</p>
+
+        @param Destination
+            the com::sun::star::sdb::DataAccessDescriptor describing the
+            target for the copy operation.
+
+            <p>Only <code>DataSourceName</code>, <code>DatabaseLocation</code>, <code>ActiveConnection</code>
+            are supported, effectively describing the target connection to copy the data to. They're evaluated
+            in the order mentioned here, so if multiple of the are present, only the first one is evaluated.</p>
+
+            <p>Also, at the moment the connection which is implied by either of the settings above
+            must support the com::sun::star::sdb::Connection service. In particular,
+            it is not sufficient to pass an SDBC-level connection.</p>
+
+            <p>Note that creating a view (see CopyTableOperation::CreateAsView) is
+            not supported if the target connection is an SDBC-level connection only.</p>
+
+        @throws ::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException
+            if
+            <ul><li>either <code>Source</code> or <code>Destination</code> is `NULL`</li>
+                <li>either <code>Source</code> or <code>Destination</code> are not sufficient
+                    to describe a database connection.</li>
+                <li><code>Source</code> is not sufficient to describe the to-be-copied data</li>
+                <li>either <code>Source</code> or <code>Destination</code> contain unsupported settings.</li>
+            </ul>
+

+            if an error occurs during obtaining the source or destination connection. Those errors
+            are passed unchanged to the creator of the wizard.

+            if an error other than the ones mentioned above occurs while extracting the necessary
+            information from any of the data access descriptors. For instance, this might

+    query. For columns that are NOT explicitly named in the query, it
+    is best to use column numbers. If column names are used, there is
+    no way for the programmer to guarantee that they actually refer to
+    the intended columns.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+    A ResultSet is automatically closed (disposed) by the Statement that

+    to retrieve the next result from a sequence of multiple results.
