Object Names Search - This level will
search all objects of the database. It will find the objects
that match your search criteria and display them as part of the
results. You can tell DBSearch to skip the objects that you are
not interested in searching. Use the Advanced Object Options to
use this feature.
Object Column Names Search - This level will search in
the column names of all objects found in the database. All
instances found will be displayed as part of the results. Again
you can define which objects you wish to include in the search
in the Advanced Object Options, as well as particular columns
you would like to exclude from the search, use the Advanced
Columns Options to set this option.
Data Types Search - This level will search in the data
types names of all columns in the database. By using such
features as Advanced Table options (ability to skip table(s))
and Advanced Column Options (ability to exclude columns) you can
tailor your search as needed. The general Options feature allows
you to define whether the search will check the DBMS data types
as found on the database - or if they need to be translated to
ODBC standard types before performing the search.
Indexes Search - This level will search in the indexes
names and columns found in the database. The Advanced Table
Options allows you to skip all the indexes in a particular table
per user specification.
Data Search - This level will search the data stored in
the database. The Advanced Table Options allows you to skip all
the data in a particular table per user specification.
To further refine your search, DBSearch provides the
following options:
Any substring - When selected, DBSearch will report when
your string is found in any place on the particular record being
checked.
Match whole word only - When selected, DBSearch will ONLY
report those instances where your string was found as an entire
word within the record being checked.
Prefix - When selected, DBSearch will only report those
instances where your string was found as a prefix to any word in
the record being checked.
Suffix - When selected, DBSearch will only report those
instances where your string was found as a suffix to any word in
the record being checked.
Match case - When checked, DBSearch will perform a case
sensitive search on the database according to your criteria as
defined for all of the above parameters.
In order to make it easy to understand the output of the search,
DBSearch creates a report that includes all the instances found
in the database according to your criteria, in a user friendly
manner, as well as other useful information about the database
and the search. |
