Afternoon everyone,
I'm trying to do a pre-select on a PGDB non-spatial table.  The 
table is DETAIL and the column I'm interested in, named TIMEPOINT, 
is type TEXT and according to ArcCatalog table properties, this 
column "allows NULL values".  I want to extract only those records 
that have a TP.  This TIMEPOINT field contains either TP or nothing. 

So, my "Where Clause" parameter on my SourceDataSet has been set to 
each of the following possibilities with no records being pushed 
through to be processed (I realize I've tried calls that shouldn't 
work, but just trying to get something to work or at least let some 
subset of data through):

select * from DETAIL where TIMEPOINT = TP
select * from DETAIL where TIMEPOINT = "TP"
select * from DETAIL where TIMEPOINT = 'TP'
select * from DETAIL where TIMEPOINT IS NOT NULL
select * from DETAIL where TIMEPOINT <> ""

What the heck am I doing wrong?  Right now I'm reading all 1.5 
million records and then using an AttributeFilter to only pass the 
TP records along - not the most efficient process.
Any thoughts?
Thanks all,
Steve
