I would like define an unique filter to hide tables that start with SNP and QTX in my schema browser.
I can easily create two filters for this purpose using the filter creation dialog and specifying [Table Name -> Does Not Include] but how can I specify two criteria within the same filter?
Oops – my reply below refers to the ‘quick filter’ (the edit
box right above the list of tables, assuming you are not using the treeview
schema browser).
There’s no way to put multiple things in the ‘big’ filter (the
one you are talking about). If I can get it to work with semicolons to indicate
multiple items I’ll let you know. I don’t think I’ll be able
to squeeze that in for the next beta, though.

OK, in Thursday’s beta, you’ll be able to use semicolons to indicate
multiple lists in the main SB Filter.
So you could use ‘Does Not Include’ with ‘SNP;QTX’ to
exclude all tables that have either SNP or QTX anywhere in the table name. You
can have as many semicolons as you like.
One way to accomplish what you asked for (in at least the version I’ve got) is to:
Select the filter icon
At the top, above the Tables tab, there is a check box called “View/Edit Query Before Executing”
Select the check box, then select OK
A popup window with the query will show up, add “and t.table_name not like ‘SNP%’ and t.table_name not like ‘QTX’”
Confirm the expected results in your table listing
Select the filter icon again
Click the button at the top called “Saved Filters” and save your current filter so you can re-load it whenever you want
