 MANAGING TABLES AND FORMS 

Query by example:
The forms used for displaying/editing data are usually opened in search mode (fields are highlighted in green), which allows you to enter search criteria for data. Click the (find) button to start searching and view the results. To enter your search criteria, use the following notation:

  • Exact value: when you enter a value in a field, all the rows that contain the value will be found.

  • Greater than, Less than: use >(value) or <(value) to find all the data satisfying the condition.

  • Does not equal: use #(value) to find all the data satisfying the condition.

  • Empty: use ! to find all the data for which the field is empty.

  • Not empty: use . to find all the data for which the field has a value.

  • Substring: use * or % to search by substring (e.g. *ext* will find all the rows containing the word ext in that field).

  • Range: use the (value1):(value2) notation to find a range of values.

  • Multiple criteria: use ; to combine different simple criteria (e.g. <10;>20 finds all the data less than or equal to 10 and greater than or equal to 20).

Selecting rows:
