Filter Data in the Schema Browser
The Schema Browser has the following methods to filter data:
- Filter/Sort—This is a server-side filter that limits which rows are retrieved from the database. This method is much faster than the grid filter when you are filtering a large dataset. Access this filter by clicking the
button in the tab's toolbar.
- Filter Data—This is a client-side filter that retrieves all rows from the dataset before filtering them. Access this filter by right-clicking the data grid.
To filter data in the Schema Browser
- Click
- Complete the fields as necessary.
Clear Filters
- 'Clear Filter for <object type>,' or
- 'Clear Filter For All Object Types'
Data Grid Basics
Data Grid Basics
Throughout Toad, information is presented in a grid format. Within grids, you can customize grid views, filter resultsets, print the grid contents, and other standard operations. If the data set is editable, Toad enables that to be done within the grid.
