Chapter 8. Searching Data
In this chapter, we present mechanisms that can be used to find the data we are looking for, instead of just browsing tables page-by-page and sorting them. In Search mode, application developers can look for data in ways not expected by the interface they are building—adjusting and sometimes repairing data. This chapter covers single-table searches and entire database searches. Chapter 12 is a complement to this chapter and presents examples of searches involving multiple tables at once.
