My apologies. I had sent email to this list last Feb with this request

It would be very useful to be able to export the results of a query as
select into statements, at least in the case when there is only one table in
the from clause.

I didn't get a reply, so I thought I was asking on the wrong list. When I
sent the question about how to ask for a feature, I didn't change the
subject, but also didn't include the request.

Thom Brown has it basically right. I want to be able to take the results of
what is in the grid editor and produce insert stmts. Perhaps an option under
Edit Data/Tools?
