| Editing a query including fields from multiple tables (join) is supported but not recommended. The [[:geoscene3d:application:editor_tools:xyzpoints_editor:tabular_dataset|tabular dataset]] should be configured as a simple select from a single table. See the sample database "Editor.mdb" in the demo data directory for an example of a database prepared for XYZ Point editing. NOTE: The "ID" field should NOT auto increment. | Editing a query including fields from multiple tables (join) is supported but not recommended.
