Finding Objects Using a View Criteria

A "view criteria" is a declarative data filter for the custom or standard objects you work with in your scripts. After creating a view object using the newView() function, but before calling executeQuery() on it, use the appendCriteria() method to add a filter so the query will return only the rows you want to work with.

This section explains the declarative syntax of view criteria filter expressions, and provides examples of how to use them. At runtime, the application development framework translates the view criteria into an appropriate SQL WHERE clause for efficient database execution.
