Working with a subset of data

Go Up to Working with Tables

Production tables can be huge, so applications often need to limit the number of rows with which they work. For table components use filters to limit records used by an application. Filters can be used with any kind of dataset, including TIBDataSet, TIBTable, TIBQuery, and TIBStoredProc components. Because they apply to all datasets, you can find a full discussion of using filters in Understanding Datasets.
