Records can be created in various ways. You can add a brand new record to your application or copy an existing one. Existing rules can be specialized by creating a copy into a specific ruleset, against a different class or (in some cases) with a set of circumstance definitions. Data instances may be copied but do not support specialization as they are not versioned.

Based on your use case, the Create, Save As or Specialization form is used to create the record. The number of fields and available options vary by record type. Start by familiarizing yourself with the generic layout of these forms and their common fields:

• Completing the Create form
• Completing the Save As form
• Completing the Specialization form

This help topic then identifies the key parts and options that are applicable to the record type you are creating.

Create a Connect SQL rule by selecting Connect SQL from the Integration-Connectors category.

Key parts:

A Connect SQL rule has three key parts:

Field	Description
Apply to	Select a class associated with the database table on which you want to operate.
Package Name	Enter a value that indicates any SQL language variant. For example, you can enter: MSSQL for Microsoft SQL Server Oracle for Oracle. DB2 for IBM DB2 UDB for IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB) Sybase for Sybase This key part is required but unrestricted. As a best practice, use this key part to record which flavor of SQL is present in the rule.
Request Type	Enter a name for this rule. Begin the name with a letter and use only alphanumeric, ampersand, and dash characters.

Rule resolution

When searching for Connect SQL rules, the system filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions.

The system does not search the class hierarchy. References to Connect SQL rules (such as in method parameters) must match the Apply to key part.

Time-qualified and circumstance-qualified rule resolution features are not available for Connect SQL rules.
