The Print Job Viewer contains a filter field to selectively display results from the database. The syntax used is SQL syntax that would normally be used in the WHERE clause.

Syntax Construction

For a basic sort based on a column’s value treating the value as a string, use the “=” operator and enclose the value in single quotes:

[Column Name] = ‘Value’



For a basic sort based on a column’s value treating the value as a numeric type use the “=”, “<”, “>”, “<=”, “>=” operators:

[Column Name] > Value

Note that this comparison can be performed with timestamps as well by enclosing the timestamp value in the “#” sign:

[Column Name] > #7/1/2016# AND [Column Name] <= #7/6/2016 8:00:00 AM#



You may concatenate any of the above expressions using Boolean AND, OR, and NOT operators, and may use parentheses to force precedence:



You may use wildcards in string searches by replacing any number of characters with the “%” operator and using the “LIKE” keyword:

This would match any string that contained the sequence of characters “value”, with any number of characters before or after. The wildcards may be placed anywhere in the field.
