Let me expound on how this is useful and what it would be similar to
in SQL

it would be like writing the following

SELECT Count(*), PRODUCT_CODE, SUM(BALANCE) BAL FROM ACCOUNTS GROUP
BY PRODUCT_CODE HAVING Count(*) > 10

How this is useful is that you really only want to see the sum of
the balance for products that have a count over 10.

Now I COULD go in and dynamically rewrite the SQL statement.
However this is a bit inefficient when I can query all of the
records and then just filter the results on the screen.

Now if applying a filter on TIBOQuery causes the dataset to be
requiried then I may as well just dynamically write the SQL
statement.

But I would hope that the Filter would work to reduce the records I
am getting back.
