* Pagination 
* Sorting
* Column filtering - Fields :fire:  
* Row filtering - Where :fire:
* Bulk insert, Bulk delete, Bulk read :fire:   
* Relations - automatically detected
* Aggregate functions
* More
    * Upload single file

#### Comparison operators

```
eq      -   '='         -  (colName,eq,colValue)
not     -   '!='        -  (colName,ne,colValue)
gt      -   '>'         -  (colName,gt,colValue)
ge      -   '>='        -  (colName,ge,colValue)
lt      -   '<'         -  (colName,lt,colValue)
le      -   '<='        -  (colName,le,colValue)
is      -   'is'        -  (colName,is,true/false/null)
isnot   -   'is not'    -  (colName,isnot,true/false/null)
in      -   'in'        -  (colName,in,val1,val2,val3,val4)
btw     -   'between'   -  (colName,btw,val1,val2) 
nbtw    -  'not between'-  (colName,nbtw,val1,val2) 
like    -   'like'      -  (colName,like,%name)
```

#### Example use of comparison operators - complex example
```
PaymentList(where:"(checkNumber,eq,JM555205)~or((amount,gt,200)~and(amount,lt,2000))") 
```

#### Logical operators

```
~or     -   'or'
~and    -   'and'
~not    -   'not'
```
