Title: Where are stored the MDG Searches?
Post by: Mauricio Moya (Arquesoft) on March 20, 2019, 03:25:48 am

When you work with custom searches, they are stored locally in your computer, in the search xml, but when you deploy an MDG to your shared model and it includes searches, in which table are these searches stored?

None. Everything with MDG is held in local internal EA storage. You can't access anything.

It has to be in the database, because you can import a MDG to a database repository, and immediately all users connecting to the repository could use the profiles and searches defined in the MDG, so it IS in the database. There is no other mechanism that load the MDG info from the shared repository and store it in the EA local installation. Don't you think?

If you import it into the repository it's stored as packed XMI in t_documents (just out of my head). And EA deploys them like from disk, just doing the unpacking internally.
