an architectural question:  
i built several similar projects, and each of them takes data from a his table.  
then i built a component, querying with a parametrized sql tablename (i can place the same component to have different behaviour).  
i need to store the DB table name somewhere visible at project level, but i’ve noticed that:

- a tag has whole server scope
- dynamic properties have window scope (i should repeat it for each window)  
i am searching for something in intermediate level, insertable in sql queries, is it there?!  
thank you

how about in a client tag?client tags are attached to the projects that they reside in.

Client tags are scoped to the instance running, which is smaller than the project. In other words, a client tag on one computer can be a different value than that same tag running the same project on another computer. That may be what you’re looking for building dynamic SQL queries on a client based on user input.
