Ignore Case | Untick so that, for PhixFlow instances running on Oracle or MariaDB (MySQL), the condition only matches strings that have the same capitalisation (case-sensitive). 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. TickWhether 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. |
