    Does anyone know where the  "Display SQL" values for a particular smartlist category are stored in SQL?   One of my custom smartlists got messed up and I'm hoping to be able to recreate it from looking at a backup.

    There are 2 versions of SL Builder.  What I explained is on SL Builder from eOne Solutions, but if you dont have license for it or not installed, then you will see the one from MSFT called Smartlist designer. And it may not have everything I explained, but still you can see the query at least.

    Modify button will enable only when you select the user created SL.

    If you want to search the database for a value, I highly recommend downloading the free product call ApexSQL Search. It's an addon to Studio manager and a wonderfully robust tool. You can target your search, or search every database in your installation. It's very easy to use and a very valuable tool - yet it's FREE! Apex has other free SQL tools, take a look.

    [View:https://www.apexsql.com/sql_tools_search.aspx:750:50]

    Here's the Apex menu. You can do way more than just search.

    Do you mind screenshotting where the Create, modify, create view buttons are?

    When I search for it to reference IT request, I only found this:

    Also you can use the "Create View" option in the same area to convert the SQL query behind it to a SQL View and use it. But you may have to drop and recreate it if user make changes to SL.

    This is exactly what I'm looking for.

    I do have access to GP but not to create/modify smartlist. Let me request it and confirm this works. Thanks!

    Assuming you have access to GP. If it is user created Smartlist, go to the Smartlist report and click Modify button and then go to Options >> Display SQL and mark all the checkboxes in that window to see the complete SQL query used in the smart list.
