Wizard settings for a database file
After opening a database file with a wizard there are a number of settings to make, depending
on the database type (see below).
On the last page of the dialog, click Finish to close the dialog and open the actual data
mapping configuration.

After creating the initial data mapping configuration you may use a custom SQL query via
the Input Data Settings; see "Settings for a database" on page252.

The Sort on option, combined with the Stop data mapping option of the "Action step" on
page283, allows to process only a group of items without having to examine all records. (See also:
