Documentation for Database Filters (incorrectly?) mentions predicate filter

Datomic Cloud
1

The page on Time Filters mentions in the intro:

Datomic databases can be filtered with the time-based predicates asOf and since . Or, you can bring your own predicate with filter. In addition, you can get an unfiltered view of all history via history.

However the Client API does not have the filter function, and I presume Cloud does not support that?

It looks like this page might have been copied from On-Prem documentation and the section about filter further down removed, but the highlighted sentence was left in.

I think it would be clearer if it is also removed (it threw me off course for a while, thinking predicate filters are supported). The paragraph will then read like this:

Datomic databases can be filtered with the time-based predicates asOf and since. In addition, you can get an unfiltered view of all history via history.

Thanks for catching that.
I’ve removed the mention of predicate filters.
