Simple comparisons relationship options

When performing a simple comparison in the Select rows panel, the relationship options define the association between a column and a value in the resulting selection expression.

The Relationship drop-down list contains the options used to specify the association (e.g., equal to, greater than, contains, etc.) between a column and a value. The options available in the list are dependent on the data type of the selected column. For more information about data types, see Data types.

When the select operation is submitted, the 1010data Insights Platform searches the selected column for the specified value, or values, and displays the appropriate rows in the grid.
Note: Values in text columns are case sensitive.

The following relationship options are available when performing a simple comparison in the Select rows panel.

matches
  • text
 Rows where text matches the specified wildcard pattern are displayed in the grid.

The following wildcard patterns may be used:

  • An asterisk (*) represents any zero or more characters.

    For example, 'ab*c' matches 'abc' and 'abwc' and 'abxyzc'.

  • A question mark (?) represents any single character.

    For example, 'ab?c' matches 'abwc' and 'abxc' but not 'abxyzc'.

  • Square brackets ([]) serve two functions:
    1. The contents of the brackets represents a choice of characters. 

      For example, 'ab[cd]e' matches either 'abce' or 'abde'.

      A ^ before the characters in the brackets will match any character except those characters in the brackets.

      For example, '[^abc]def' means that the first character can be any character except a, b, or c. 'ddef', 'edef', 'fdef', and so on would be a match.

    2. Any special character appearing within brackets is taken at face value and not treated as special. 

      For example, 'ab[*]c' matches 'ab*c' but not 'abwc'. To match the character "[", use '[[]'.
