Based on filterQuery and valueQuery (without table attribute)
Now filterQuery and valueQuery can be regular SQL queries.
You should only use {0} as the parameter representing the user input to filter the values from the table.
Create COUNTRY table:
create table COUNTRY (
CT_ID varchar(2),
CT_NAME varchar(32),
primary key(CT_ID)
);
insert into COUNTRY (CT_ID, CT_NAME) values ('es', 'Spain');
insert into COUNTRY (CT_ID, CT_NAME) values ('pt', 'Portugal');
insert into COUNTRY (CT_ID, CT_NAME) values ('it', 'Italy');Metadata definition:
