Column | This 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. | ||
