Reference Data Profile

Allows you to select a Reference Data profile that contains the table you want to query from. For more on Reference Data profiles, you can refer to Reference Data Profile.

Table

A dropdown list of tables configured in the selected Reference Data profile. You select from one table in the list to perform your query on.

Show Columns

This option appears once you have selected a profile and a table. This displays all the column names available in the selected table. You can remove and add the columns at your choosing to be displayed in the query result. Clicking on the All button will select all the columns in the table.

All columns are selected by default.

Data Set Size

This option appears once you have selected a profile and a table. The value in this field controls the maximum size of the retrieved data sets. 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.

Query Expressions

This option appears once you have selected a profile and a table. Query Expressions allow you to filter the query results according to the criteria you configure in this option. Click on New Expression to add one to the query.

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:

  • equals

  • not equals

  • like

  • not like

  • greater than

  • greater than or equals

  • lesser than

  • lesser than or equals

  • 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.
