Global Search & Replace

Search and replace text across any local or remote database.

The Search & Replace feature is accessible from the toolbar.

WP Data Access - Data Explorer - Search & Replace

To start a search:

  • Enter a search string.
  • Select one or more databases.
  • Select one or more tables and/or views.

The search results table displays the number of rows that contain the search string in each selected table or view.

WP Data Access - Data Explorer - Search & Replace

Clicking a link in the search results table opens a form for the selected database and table or view, displaying the matching rows. The form allows you to edit rows directly.
