Filter Options

For your convenience the filter of object names is added. By default, filter by mask is used. A valid mask consists of literal characters, sets, and wildcards. Each literal character must match a single character in the string. The comparison to literal characters is case-insensitive. Each set begins with an opening bracket ([) and ends with a closing bracket (]). You can use standard wildcards such as asterix (*) or percent sign (%) which are the same, or the question mark (?).

To apply filter using regular expression, check the Regular expression option.

Enable Case sensitive option to make the regular expression filter case sensitive.

Always exclude following objects

Enter the objects (one on the line) that you do not want to be compared.

To delete filter condition you may use the Clear Filter button of the Database objects popup menu.
