A Storage object can be created without configuring its Fields. To do so, provide its DBServer and TableName properties during creation. This configuration allows creating a query-only Storage, which is very useful when accessing data generated by external applications. Some restrictions apply in this situation:

•Although a Storage is activated as usual, it does not generate tables nor changes its indexes

•The Create Table option on Properties Window, the Create DB Structure option of its contextual menu, and the option on Storage's toolbar returns an error message, indicating that a database structure cannot be created because there are no Fields defined

•An empty Storage is listed on a Query's Server Name combo box as usual

•There is no need for Storage licenses when querying external data, only for writing data
