Clause

Select an option from the list. PhixFlow adds more fields where you can:

  • select how the filter matches (for example, equals, contains, is null)
  • enter a string that the filter uses to match the data. The string can be an expression or a literal string.

Insert excerpt
_filter_literal
_filter_literal
nopaneltrue

Indicates the value entered is a literal value. Click this icon to treat the value as an expression.

Insert excerpt
_filter_expression
_filter_expression
nopaneltrue

Indicates the value entered is an expression. Click this icon to treat the value to a literal string.

Ignore Case   

Insert excerpt
_check_box_untick
_check_box_untick
nopaneltrue
 so that, for PhixFlow instances running on Oracle or MariaDB (MySQL), the condition only matches strings that have the same capitalisation (case-sensitive).

Insert excerpt
_check_box_ticked
_check_box_ticked
nopaneltrue
 so that the condition matches strings that have any capitalisation (case-insensitive). For example "abc" matches "abc", "Abc", "ABC", etc. For case-insensitive filters, there is no difference if the attribute is also indexed. 

Whether or not the check box is ticked by default depends on the underlying stream attribute property tab → Advanced section → Filter conditions are case-independent by default.

This option affects the behaviour of filters for PhixFlow instances running on Oracle or MariaDB (MySQL) databases. 
For PhixFlow instances running on a SQLServer database, filters are always case-independent.
