Once you have created database queries,
00:06
you can apply them as domains and verify their
00:08
accuracy using a few different database and domain tools
00:13
to begin double click the desired project dot APR

00:19
Once the project starts,
00:21
click the info water pro tab to open the info water pro ribbon
00:25
in the project panel, click initialize
00:29
on the info Water Pro ribbon
00:31
in the domain panel, click domain manager
00:36
in the domain manager select DB query as the element source.
00:41
The drop down list includes any queries that you created.
00:45
Select eight inch eight inch pipes and then click add,
00:50
click close to close the domain manager,

All eight inch pipes are selected and displayed in red in the map
01:01
on the info water pro ribbon
01:03
in the edit panel, click DB editor
01:07
select the pipe hydraulic modeling data table
01:10
in the open table dialogue under data scope, select domain.
01:16
The DB query option can be used here if you
01:18
are writing a query just to open the database table.
01:22
In this case, using a domain is easier since you are using a project DB query.
01:27
Click OK? To open the table in the DB editor,
01:32
click the diameter column heading to select the column
01:35
and then from the toolbar, click field statistics.
01:40
The pop up confirms that there are only eight inch pipes in the database table.
01:45
Click OK, to close the field statistics pop up and then exit to close the DB editor.
01:54
Open the domain manager again,
01:56
click clear to clear the domain of your previous selection.
02:01
Select DB query as the element source
02:05
eight I N underscore Z 48 inch pipes in zone four from the dropdown list
02:10
and then click add,
02:13
click close to close the domain manager.
02:17
All pipes satisfying the query. That is all eight inch pipes in pressure zone.
02:21
Four are selected and displayed in red in the map

and that all of them have a zone field of four.
02:44
The beige fields are all fields in the information table
02:48
and the
02:49
scion fields are all fields in the modeling table.
