SQL Designer uses a global settings data document to persist Comparison type definitions, Value function definitions and Regular expression validators. The global settings data document is an XML formatted test document that may be persisted directly on the local file system by SQL Designer, or, may be stored by the host application and provided to SQL Designer by listening to its request event.
To edit global settings within the sample application, first open the Schema Editor, then, choose one of the options from the Global Settings Menu. For additional information on managing Global Settings data, refer to the Developer Documentation or view the source code of the sample application.
The following settings may be edited via the Global Settings menu item on the Schema Editor:
Comparison Types (the list of possible operators that may be used in query criteria)
Value Functions (dynamic value calculators used in query criteria)
Regular Expression Validators (used to validate user input)
