how to convert dbquery search to dbxquery search

[hartfoml]

I have several hundred dbquery searches that I need to make work with the new DB Connect Version and convert to dbxquery. The select statements seam to work ok with the new connecter but the output is very different.

With the old connector I get an output field of NAME
With the new connector I get an output field of (002) ORGANIZATION.NAME.VARCHAR

is there a way to limit the output on the new connector to only the column name and not show the column number (002) and the table ORGANIZATION and the data type VARCHAR in the output field

The old syntax form of | dbquery "connectorname" "select"
to the new syntax of | dbxquery connection="connectorname" query="select"

I think I can deal with this OK with a search and replace.
The output field name changes will mean a whole other set of complexity to the conversion.

You need to include following parameter with your dbxquery command.

shortnames

Syntax: shortnames=<bool>
Description: By default, the returned fields will be in the form <TABLE>.<COLUMN>.<DATATYPE>. Setting the shortnames argument to true will return fields called <COLUMN>.
Default: shortnames=false
