SettingDescription
ColumnThis is a column in the selected database table.
Operator

This is a comparison operator that is applied to the values in the specified column and the value.

The available operators are:

=

!=

like

not like

>

>=

<

<=

between

Value

This field contains a value that is used in the expression. When between is the selected operator, two value fields are displayed.

You can use SQL wildcards such % and _ with the operators like and not like.

An underscore (_) in the pattern matches exactly one character (as opposed to one byte in a multibyte character set) in the value.

A percent sign (%) in the pattern can match zero or more characters (as opposed to bytes in a multibyte character set) in the value. The pattern '%' cannot match a null.

Grid Page Size

The value in this field controls the grid size i e the number of rows that the grid will occupy.

Data Set Size

The queried data is fetched from the Platform in data sets of configurable size. A large size typically results in a faster query but it may take longer to display the first dataset.

The value in this field controls the maximum size of the retrieved data sets.

If a retrieved data set does not fit in the grid, it is paginated.

Single data set can be filtered or navigated by pages within grid. You can navigate the data sets by using the buttons Next Data Set and Previous Data Set.

This button open the Choose Columns dialog. Use this dialog to select the columns that should be displayed in the result of the query.

  2. Select a comparison operator.

  3. Enter a value for the condition.

  4. Use the  and  buttons to add more conditions to the expression, or remove an existing one. When there are multiple expressions, these are combined by AND logic.

  5. Change the Options settings to values that are suitable for the queried table. 

  6. Click the Choose Columns button. Uncheck the column names that you do not want to display in the result and click the OK button.
  7. Click Execute Query And Show Results. The Edit tab containing a data grid is displayed. The data grid is displayed when the application has retrieved the first data set. The subsequent data sets are retrieved in a background process that you can monitor in the status bar.
