Text color in the QlikView Editor

I am seeing non consistent text color in my script editor.  I have checked the editor preferences and don't see anything unusual there.  As an example, the words "From" and "Where" show up in blue when the script loads from a local table file; when the script pulls from my Oracle database, those words are in black.

While the script appears to work regardless of the text color, my concern is that I do not have QlikView set up properly and if I don't, I could (I am!) experience other issues.

So the simple question is:  why do the words "From" and "Where" appear in black when connecting to my Oracle database but in blue when connecting to local table files?

Thanks,

Mike

Because Load and Where are "Reserved" keywords for Qlik that recognize them as own instruction.

Load and where in SQL syntax are "External" instruction

Hope it helps

So "SQL Select" is an internal instructions, while "Load" is an internal QV instruction?

Yes,

SELECT (you can omit SQL) depends on connection with DB

while load is related to internal tables (QV)
