The sql property of a query against a DBF should most often be nothing more
than:

  "select * from THETABLE"

This is essentially what's generated if you drag a DBF from the navigator to
the DMD design surface. The query designer is unnecessary and undesirable
for use with most queries against DBFs. OTOH, it can be useful for creating
joins of DBFs and queries against C/S tables.
