IBM Content Manager, Version 8.5 Supports: Oracle, DB2, C++, Java

Understanding parametric search

Items are often retrieved by initiating a search on selected attributes. A single query can examine both system-defined and user-defined attributes of the items in the content server.

Simple search conditions consist of an attribute name, an operator, and a value that are combined into a clause. IBM® Content Manager provides you with many comparison operators to complete parametric searches. The operators include:

=
<
<=
>
>=
!=
LIKE
NOT LIKE
BETWEEN
NOT BETWEEN
IS NULL
IS NOT NULL
IN
NOT IN

You can specify complex search conditions by combining simple search conditions into a clause by using the Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT. See the query examples for more details.
