Row-based data filtering at a database level

A computer system, comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, and one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices;
• program instructions, stored on at least one or more storage devices for execution by at least one or more processors via at least one or more memories, to evaluate content of at least one record of the write data request received from an application for a particular table from among at least one table of a database, against at least one filter rule specified for the particular table;
• and
• program instructions, stored on at least one or more storage devices for execution by at least one or more processors via at least one or more memories, to select whether to store the at least one record of the write data request as a separate row in the particular table based on a separate action triggered for the at least one record when evaluated against the at least one filter rule specified for the particular table, each record not selected for storage being silently discarded.

A computer program product for filtering data in an incoming write data request, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to evaluate content of at least one record of a write data request received from an application for a particular table from among at least one table of a database, against at least one filter rule specified for the particular table;
• and
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to select whether to store the at least one record of the write data request as a separate row in the particular table based on a separate action triggered for the at least one record when evaluated against the at least one filter rule specified for the particular table.
