Using Filters Options in Registration (Filter Tab)

Edit the Server Properties, to use FILTER options for a Server in Aqua Data Studio:

...

  • Filter Databases/Schemas: Allows the user to specify the main schema browser filter for databases or schemas, on whether to include or exclude all.
  • Include Databases/Schemas: A list of databases/schemas to include after the main filter is applied.
  • Exclude Databases/Schemas: A list of databases/schemas to exclude after the main filter is applied.
  • Filter Objects: Allows the user to specify the main schema browser filter for object types, on whether to include or exclude all.
  • Include Objects: A list of objects to include after the main filter is applied.
  • Exclude Objects: A list of objects to exclude after the main filter is applied.

Features

  • You can Create, Edit or Delete Object Folders. Default Folders are Tables, System Tables, Views, Indexes, Triggers, Procedures, Functions.
  • Sometimes you would like to view only specific Schemas. Use options to INCLUDE or EXCLUDE all Schemas and Folders.
  • Enter the Schema or Folder name in the specified text area and Press OK. Current Connection will be terminated. Reconnect to see the changes.
  • Filters are case sensitive
  • Filter Databases works on the list of databases inside the "Databases" folder.
  • Filter Folders works on the list of folders inside a particular database. Example folders: Tables, View, Procedures, etc.
  • Object Folder filter works on individual folders inside a particular database. The user can define filters for each of the Tables, Views, etc. folders.

...

If your intention is to show only the tables that start with XXPKD, then you'll need to change your main filter to "Exclude All", and secondary filter to "+XXPKD*". Note the "+" in front of the XXPKD pattern. Also, note that the filter pattern is case sensitive.

Image Modified

The filter shown below is set to exclude all databases except those that start with "aq". This is similar to the above example where all schemas, except the XXPKD schema, are excluded. Then, there is an "Object Folder" filter on the Tables folder, which excludes everything except those that start with "forum".

Using Advanced Properties (Advanced Tab)

Edit the Server Properties to use Advanced Properties in Aqua Data Studio:

...

  • Transaction Isolation Level: Support for setting Transaction Isolation Level
    - TRANSACTION_NONE - A constant indicating that transactions are not supported.
    - TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED - A constant indicating that dirty reads are prevented; non-repeatable reads and phantom reads can occur.
    - TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED - A constant indicating that dirty reads, non-repeatable reads, and phantom reads can occur.
    - TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ - A constant indicating that dirty reads and non-repeatable reads are prevented; phantom reads can occur.
    - TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE - A constant indicating that dirty reads, non-repeatable reads, and phantom reads are prevented.
  • JDBC Escape Processing: Allows JDBC driver to perform escape sequence before sending the SQL code to the server.  
  • Always Display Column Name in Results: Enables/Disables displaying column names in results.
  • Enable DB filters for query window: enables/disables db filters for query windows using this connection.
  • Only Display Databases that User has Access to: Displays only the databases the current user (from the Login Name on the General tab) has access to within the schema browser.
  • Set quoted_identifier: Causes connection to follow the SQL-92 rules regarding quotation mark delimiting identifiers and literal strings.
  • Set ansi_nulls: Causes connection to follow SQL-92 compliant behavior of the Equals (=) and Not Equal to (<>) comparison operators when used with null values.
  • Set ansi_null_dflt_on: Causes connection behavior to override default nullability of new columns when the ANSI null default option for the database is false.
  • Set ansi_padding: Changes connection behavior in the way the column stores values shorter than the defined size of the column, and the way the column stores values that have trailing blanks in char, varchar, binary, and varbinary data.
  • Set ansi_warnings: Specifies SQL-92 standard behavior for several error conditions.
  • Fetch Size: determines the Fetch Size (number of rows physically retrieved from the database at one time by the JDBC driver).
  • Connections Pooled: Enables connection pooling. Read more about connection pooling here.
  • Force Auto-Commit: When this option is selected, it sets auto-commit to TRUE for any Query Window to this server and disables the icons on the toolbar, regardless of the option in File > Options > Query Analyzer > [DATABASE] > [Auto Commit].
  • Data Warehouse Mode: Read Only or Read/Write
  • Object Folder Display: [Default], [Name], [Schema].[Name] or [Name]([Schema]) sets how the Schemas will be displayed.
  • Object Folder Schema Folder Grouping: Default, Yes or No. Schema Folder Grouping makes finding tables much easier because it groups them instead of showing each object individually. 
Info
Using the drop-down at the bottom of the Advanced Tab, quickly change your Object Display in the Server Browser.
