Yeah -- don't use the sql designer. You end up with read-only for
anything that includes a WHERE clause, or an ORDER BY clause.

Instead, simply drag the table to the form surface from the navigator.
This creates a query object with the SQL property being a basic
"select * from tablename" (and the appropriate database stuff for your
Oracle connection). Then you can use the rowset's properties to set
the sequence (indexName) and any filters (where) ...
