this filter is much simple than the old one, but much more powerful. In it you simply write a sql condition, that will be inserted AS IT IS (obviously and-ed with the others conditions generated) in the where clause
Just to be clear, 1) what do I need to enter? WHERE supplier_name like 'Hew%';
or
supplier_name like 'Hew%';
2) does it work with existing filter attributes (AND-ed to them)? Seems redundant but...
3) does it have limitation like can't used with sorting or anything? In other words, if I set it to sort my supplier_name and then the have a user sort that chooses date for example, will everything be peachy and work like a nice cool day in the middle of a scorching hot summer.
Or could we tell users, this is a better way to do
filtering but the filter attribute still works for backwards compatibility?sure
The concept seems fine to me as long as it gets explained clearly in the UsersGuide. Other opinions????
