TDataSet Filter Keywords
- Thread starter smays
- Start date
The list of comparison and logical operators that can appear in a TDataset Filter is in the Delphi 2009 help (I don't know about other versions of Delphi). Search for 'Setting the Filter Property' in the help.
The listed operators are:
<
>
>=
<=
=
<>
AND
NOT
OR
+
-
* (multiply)
/
* (wildcard for partial comparisons)

the statement in filter would be inserted after a WHERE keyword in a SQL statement so you might use everything that could be in a WHERE statement in SQL
for example you could use this snippet to have very flexible filter in your applications :
dm1.qryCustomer.Filter:='CU_Partner=true and CU_CompanyName like ''%'+edtSearchCriteria.Text+'%'''
then after applying filter all company names that are LIKE '%X%' would be retrieved
Please consider that this filtering is applied at client side so it would be some times good and sometimes a diaster.
good luck
