C00 AND C01 OR C02
is equivalent to (C00 AND C01) OR C02
and means that questions/conditions 0 (i.e. C00) and 1 (i.e. C01)
or question/condition 2 (i.e. C02) have to be fulfilled for the record to be
selected. In a given database, this could allow the retrieval of
900 records (for example).
Using another groupings of the questions, like
C00 AND (C01 OR C02)
will lead to another selection of records 30 (for example). In this latter
example questions/conditions 1 or 3 have to be fulfilled at the same time than
question 0.
The use of brackets can therefore importantly change the results of the
queries, even with the same original questions/conditions.
All the opened brackets have to be closed. You may remove a question
manually. For example, in:
C00 AND C01 AND C02
you may remove the question/condition 1 and this would then look like:
C00 AND C02
The AND, OR, NOT could be switched. For example, you may manually change
the following query
(C00 AND C01) OR C02
to
(C00 AND NOT C01) OR C02
or to
C00 AND C01 AND C02
Also keep a space before and after the AND, OR and the NOT.
Don not add any other character than the opening '(' and closing ')' brachets.
Wrongly written advanced queries like:
C00 AND C01) AND C02
or
C00 AND C01 AND C02
or
C00 AND C01AND C02
...
will lead to a message stating that no record was found or that the query was wrong.
