Filter page

You specify filtering options for database connections on the Filter page. This page is embedded into multiple wizards in the workbench.

Specify filtering options on the Filter page to limit the objects that are displayed in the Database Explorer after you connect to a database. It is often useful to filter out system tables or other tables that contain metadata from the Database Explorer view.
