Define Limits for Database Queries via Global Variables

Information

• The following global variables must be checked and possibly be adjusted in the Global Variables module after installation of PLANTA.
  • @G80109 and @G80110: They determine the database query limit (filter results).
    • If the amount of found records is greater than the amount specified in @G80110, the query is always canceled (with a message).
    • If the amount is greater than the amount specified in @G80109, the user is asked whether the query is to be canceled.
    • Default values are 50000 for @G80109 and 100000 @G80110 - these values can also be changed temporarily by the Python code within a session.
      • These values must be adapted to the requirements of the respective application. Further information on the interface can be found here.
    • If these variables are set to 0 or a value smaller than 0, the respective functionality will be deactivated. This means that database queries with result sets of any size are admissible.
