SQL from a App.Query, setting Params

The easiest way to get SQL data is using Visual Query. Note that this only works, if your razor is inside 2sxc/eav. This example gets the list of files from DNN using a query like
Select Top 10 * from Files Where PortalId = [Params:PortalId]
Here we override the parameter PortalId=1.

Root Portal

In this example we will set the PortalId for the SQL query.
