Query an External Database

Posted on by EazyDynamics 33

Hello, I have established a connection with an external SQL database and setup a table and a page to read from the table located in the said database. I am successfully receiving all the record but I want to filter them based on a field. I can filter them once I have received all the records but is there any way that it only fetches the records that I want on the first time around.

Table:

    Hi

    This way you cannot retrieve the records you need, but you can apply code filters on the page, in the onopenpage for example:

    rec.setfilter(Yourfield,'XXXX');
