20160048584 | ON-THE-FLY DETERMINATION OF SEARCH AREAS AND QUERIES FOR DATABASE SEARCHES - Innovations in the areas of determining search areas and queries for database searches are presented. For example, a search tool receives input for a search area for a database search. For the database search, the search tool determines one or more target tables that fit the search area input. In this way, the search tool can determine “on-the-fly” which database tables are relevant for the database search. The search tool can also receive input for a search string and construct queries for the database search in the target table(s). For a field of a table, the search tool can selectively convert a search value to a data format of the field. If the search string input includes multiple search values, the search tool can construct an OR query and/or an AND query. The search results can indicate real-time status of the database, while accounting for complex structures of database tables. | 02-18-2016 |
