The value for the new field, if it's actually set in an object, can only 
be found in the object directly, since ERP5 works on top of an Object 
Oriented database (or Object Store, as the kids are calling it these 
NoSQL days).

You can see all the values set in a specific object by visiting

/sale_order_module/xx/Base_viewDict

If you meant to find in the MySQL database that is used as an indexing 
catalog for ERP5, the value won't automatically be indexed in the 
catalog unless:

  * Your new field is actually a "category" relationship defined in the 
PropertySheet, or in the "Sale Order" type in the portal_types tool.

  * You add configuration to the portal_catalog tool to index your new 
attribute directly.

Regards,

Leo
