Note: The Row Filter (DB) operator is for database data only. For Hadoop data, use the Row Filter (HD) operator.

You can specify row filters in the following modes.

Simple mode: Use a simple template to define the filter, choosing a column, an inequality (for example, ">" or "between"), and a value (for example, a literal value or a column expression).
Script mode: Enter almost any set of filters by using a SQL script.
