In which table or file location are 'My Searches' stored?
« on: April 06, 2020, 04:07:43 pm »
I lost a SQL query that was stored in 'My Searches'. There is a database backup, but: in which table are 'My Searches' stored? Going through the tables, I didn't find one with a name that would let me think about stored searches. Or are my searches stored elsewhere?

'My searches' are usually stored in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Sparx Systems\EA\Search Data\EA_Search.xml

@Eve: Thank! Found it. Strange: the XML-file contains my 'lost' query, and has another query with exactly the same name (but other GUID).

Maybe you've effectively hidden your original query by adding another with the same name. Anyway, glad you've found your query.
