You can specift the result type with a “result-type” tag inside the result.

<result>
   <sql>select ... </sql>
   <result-type>table</result-type>
</result>

The currently available result types are

• table / dbwqltable Will display the result as a table. This is the default type.
• code Will display the result as a code block.
• command Will display an OK dialog if the statement succeeds.
• graphical Will display various charts (see below for details).
• text Will display the result as text.
• xml Will attempt to format and display the result as xml.
