CRM 2016 Quick Find View not finding active records - dynamics-crm

We are having a bizarre issue with our 2016 on-premise CRM Quick Find View. Basically, we are not able to use Quick Find View to search for some active records (incidents to be exact).
When we go to the incident's All Active Incidents view and use the search bar (which uses Quick Find View), we are able to search for some active records, yet are unable to search for some others.
We have configured the incident's Quick Find View to search in columns such as ticket number and title. I have compared two such records (one returning and one non-returning) together side-by-side in the SQL Management Studio, and all seems OK.
At first I thought the columns we are searching in might have invalid characters in them for the non-returning record. But that is not the case.
Also, the column names are selected in the Add Find Columns configuration of the Quick Find View. So that's not the cause either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Upon more investigation, we realised that any case and query record created on or after a certain date could not be searched for. Any other record created before that date could be searched for.
We don't know what exactly happened to the CRM SQL database server on that date, however we decided to restart the SQL services on the server and it seems to have resolved the issue. All case and query records are now searchable.
We are still trying to find what caused the issue. I will update this answer as soon as we find the cause so that it might help others.
Thank you all for your suggestions.

Filtering the list of tables in JetBrains Datagrip

I have recently started using JetBrains DataGrip as a replacement for HeidiSQL.
My issue relates to the list of tables in the Database Explorer. We have a large database (700+ tables) and scrolling to find the table I'm looking for is rather cumbersome. For a table with a nice, long, specific name I can just start typing and get the highlighting on the table names, which usually takes me right where I need to go:
But if I'm trying to get to the table user and we have lots of other tables with "user" in the name in various positions, the highlighting tool only takes me to the first table with "user" in the name, which is not the actual "user" table (and because we have tables with names like billingUsers, it doesn't scroll to anywhere near the actual user table that I'm looking for).
What other methods should I be using when I want to find a particular table in DataGrip? In HeidiSQL, there was the "filter tables" box which would filter the list of tables based on the search term, which got me much closer to my intended destination much more quickly. Does DataGrip have any sort of "quick filter" like this? Or is there some other tool or prompt I should use to go directly to this table instead?
During the writing of this question I came across the "double Shift" shortcut, which is helpful and closer to what I'm looking for -- though in my case I have several of our development environments configured in DataGrip, and it lists the table in every environment - whereas in the Database Explorer, I usually only have one environment expanded at a time (and only want to see results from that database, not the others).
StackOverflow suggested this question to me, which has the same issue as the double-Shift shortcut -- it shows results from all databases, not just the one I'm working in.
I am from the DataGrip teram. We are currently working on that and expecting the filtering functionality in 2022.3. Anyway, now there are several workarounds (and Shift+Shift is one of them). See them here:

DataGrip connected to the live MariaDB does not display all the tables in the Database Explorer pane, only 15 are visible

I'm using DataGrip v 2021.3.4 of JetBrains. I connect to MariaDB hosted in AWS. The database has 28 tables, though only fifteen (15) are displayed in the Database Explorer.
Interesting thing is, I can see all the tables if I go to "show visualization":
So far this is my only workaround to get to any of the 'hidden' tables, as the visualization window allows me to right-click and select "jump to source", from there I can work on the table or switch to "edit-data" if needed:
This would be an acceptable workaround if the table names and column names were recognized and hopefully auto-populated with the DataGrip interface, but instead, I get the red-underlined table names in my .SQL with errors displayed saying that:
Unable to resolve table 'table name'
Just to clarify, executing my queries actually works and I get the expected result. The problem is that I compose my queries in the blind.
Things I've tried:
refreshing the list of tables.
disconnecting and reconnecting to the
live database.
searching for a possible solution in here, on the StackOverflow website.
Anything else you would recommend me to try?
Thank you,
Update #1 [May 1, 2022]:
Upgraded DataGrip to 2022.1.2, removed some tables, down to 21 total, still limited to 15.
Some more details, in case this becomes a question:
MacOS v11.2.3 (BigSur), 16-core Intel-based CPU, 64Gb Memory
Posting this answer in case it would save time for anyone landing on this post seeking to get answers to the same issue I was having.
DataGrip UI has two places where the list of visible tables can be filtered, and those filters are compound.
First is a main filter next to Data Explorer:
The second place is under Data Sources and Drivers -> Schemas -> Object filter options.

Oracle SQL Developer - Array Fetch Size

I thought for sure this would be an easy issue, but I haven't been able to find anything. In SQL Server SSMS, if I run a SQL Statement, I get back all the records of that query, but in Oracle SQL Developer, I apparently can get back at most, 200 records, so I cannot really test the speed or look at the data. How can I increase this limit to be as much as I need to match how SSMS works in that regard?
I thought this would be a quick Google search to find it, but it seems very difficult to find, if it is even possible. I found one aricle on Stack Overflow that states:
You can also edit the preferences file by hand to set the Array Fetch Size to any value.
Mine is found at C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\SQL
Developer\system4.0.2.15.21\o.sqldeveloper.12.2.0.15.21\product-preferences.xml on Win 7 (x64).
The value is on line 372 for me and reads
I have changed it to 2000 and it works for me.
But I cannot find that location. I can find the SQL Developer folder, but my system is 19.xxxx and there is no corresponding file in that location. I did a search for "product-preferences.xml" and couldn't find it in the SQL Developer folder. Not sure if Windows 10 has a different location.
As such, is there anyway I can edit a config file of some sort to change this setting or any other way?
If you're testing execution times you're already good. Adding more rows to the result screen is just adding fetch time.
If you want to add fetch time to your testing, execute the query as a script (F5). However, this still has a max number of rows you can print to the screen, also set in preferences.
Your best bet I think is the AutoTrace feature. You can tell it to fetch all the rows, you'll also get a ton of performance metrics and the actual execution plan.
Check that last box
Then use this button to run the scenario

Crystal Reports 2008 - parameters from selection criteria are not being used to select to retrieve data from db

I have some reports written in Crystal 2008 using business views. These reports have a date parameter set up and I have a selection on the date defined in the select expert. However, when I run the report it appears to retrieve all the data from the database and only then filter out based on the date. As you can imagine this slows down the report quite a bit. I also clicked on Database-Show SQL Query and confirmed that the date parameter did not appear in the SQL Query. This behavior seems very strange to me. This did not use to happen to me when I used Crystal 8.5 with dictionaries. Is this a limitation using business views?
I did some searching and found that I can create a report using a database command. This helped improve performance on one of my reports but when I tried to do something similar on a different report, even though I was using the database command, it still did not appear in the appear to be doing the selection on the database before retrieving the data and the report took forever to run. I also didn't see the selection in the SQL Query.
Do I need to add the parameter to the database command? Will I be able to prompt the user to enter the value when they run the report?
I hope there is a way to do this properly using business views because otherwise I'll have to rewrite all my reports to use another method.
Any ideas or advice are welcome. Thank you very much!
I had a similar problem. I used the command, but my report was still taking longer than i had hoped to run. so i added a where statement into the command to start checking dates starting from 2009. that sped up my report a little.
you may want to consider creating a stored procedure if you think you are pushing CR to the limit. that may also help sped up the report.
I figured out what the problem is. My business view had fields in it that were formulas. If you try to use selection criteria using a formula, it does not add the criteria to the WHERE clause in the SQL Query. Luckily, I was able to find other fields besides the formula in the business view to do the selection.

Eliminate sort order on Data tab of SQL Developer table view

In Oracle SQL Developer, one can list the data in a table using the Data tab when viewing a table. There is also a 'Sort...' button to set the sort order of the data you are viewing. This can be very handy for viewing some data on the fly.
The problem: I set a sort order for viewing a particular table which is not supported by the indexes on that table. It seems that SQL Developer does the sort on the fly when you go to view that data. At first the delay wasn't too bad. But the table has grown and now it takes forever. There is no way to stop it except by force quitting SQL Developer, losing anything unsaved. (If you know another way to stop this sort, let me know!) So, I should change the viewing sort order to something else, but you can only access the Sort... button when viewing the data.
Is there another way to delete the viewing sort order besides viewing the data?
Where does SQL Developer store this information?
Any way to stop the sorting of the data after clicking on the data tab while waiting for it to appear?
Easy to fix (at least in v1.5.5, which is what I'm using). There's a prefs option to reset it, read about it here:
https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=860431
Go to Tools > Preferences > Database > ObjectViewer Parameters and select the Clear button. This will clear the sort settings.
I haven't found a command from the GUI to eliminate the sort order but you can use this workaround:
Go in the sqldeveloper settings folder. On M$ Windows is located in %HOME_USER%/Application Data/SQL Developer
Perform a full text search specifying the name of the sorted column. If the column's name is too common (ex: data) specify another column with a different name in the same table. You will find one or more xml files matching your searching criteria. Those files are table descriptors.
At the end of the xml descriptor search for the taf element with name 'orderByClause'. If it contains the name of the column you want eliminate from sorting replace the line with an empty element ()
Restart sqldeveloper and ... sort is not there anymore!
Hope this helps
Cheers,
Fabrizio Fortino
If you are willing to take a little risk, you can follow start by doing Fabrizio's suggestion, and then clean house as follows:
Go in the sqldeveloper settings folder. On M$ Windows is located in %HOME_USER%/Application Data/SQL Developer
Perform a search using the following mask "*tablesettings.xml".
Delete the files that were returned to you.
Restart sqldeveloper and your problem is gone.
To be safe, you might want to just move those files to a quarantine directory.
I believe there isn't currently a way, but there is a suggested enhancement not to retain the filter between sessions that you can vote on here on the SQL Developer forum
Go in the sqldeveloper settings folder. On M$ Windows is located in %HOME_USER%/Application Data/SQL Developer
On SQLDEveloper Version 3.0.03 (and up I guess) search for *GridSettings.xml
Find the file containing xml related to your table/view.
Either delete the file or remove only the lines corresponding to the columns previously deleted from the table. You need to remove lines from ; ;
You don't need to restart sqldeveloper. Just disconnecting and connectting back did it for me.
