property Filter: string;

Description
TurboDB supports two kinds of filters, conditional filters and keyword filters. Conditional filters work with a logical condition and show all records satisfying this condition. Conditions are described in "Search-Conditions". Set the Filter property or the FilterW property to use a conditional filter. Use FilterW if the filter expression contains non-ANSI characters.

The TTdbTable component allows also for keyword filters, which need a full-text index to work. From version 4 on, keyword filters are not assigned to the Filter property but to the WordFilter property.
