    Hide Tables from the Query Builder

    Is there a way to hide certain tables from the Query Builder?

    My client would like to have a means to create queries and I'd like to use the Query Builder for simplicity's sake however, there are certain tables that I would like to prevent them from adding.

    I figured this is a long shot, but thought I'd ask.

    Thanks for any help.

    add "usys" to the table name this makes the table act like a system table.

    For example I typically use: usys_tbl_conver sionfactors_sae _metric

    This hides the table in both the navigation panel and from the query builder and helps to prevent people from accidently changing a conversion factor/formula.

    Now the savy user will notice when you use this table in a query and that may compromise this simple method.

      Excellent, ZMBD!

      This is a terrific tip that I was never aware of.

      All the best!

        I echo that. Great that it now shows up whenever people search for it. Good question.
