HST-1002
HST-1002-2
HST-1002-4
HST-1002-3

USE ITEM NEW EXCL
INDEX ON NO TO ITEM
BROWSE()

show in ADS RDD:
HST-1002-1
HST-1002-2
HST-1002-3
HST-1002-4
HST-1002 ==> shoule be first

should be:
HST-1002
HST-1002-1
HST-1002-2
HST-1002-3
HST-1002-4

HI Detlef :

SET INDEX TO ITEM

SAME !!

by **Detlef Hoefner** » Mon Sep 03, 2007 10:06 am

kokookao2007,

i'm sorry but i've no experience with ADS.

But what happens if you code

Code: Select all Expand view: USE ITEM NEW EXCL INDEX ON NO TO ITEM SET INDEX TO ITEM item->( dbGoTop() ) BROWSE()

If it's still the same, you should ask our ADS master, RF for help.

Regards,
Detlef

Hello Mr.kokoo KAO

I am using ADS 7.10 and I am getting the same result what you are
expecting. And this is the result browse screen of the test program :

Code: Select all Expand view: #include "fivewin.ch" #include "ads.ch" FUNCTION main() * Advantage Database Server Settings REQUEST ADS, ADSKeyCount, ADSKeyNo, OrdKeyCount, OrdKeyNo rddRegister( "ADS", 2 ) rddsetdefault( "ADS" ) SET SERVER LOCAL SET FILETYPE TO CDX AdsSetDeleted(.T.) ?adsversion() USE adsindex.asc INDEX ON adsindex->no TO adsindex SET INDEX TO adsindex BROWSE() RETURN nil

AND THE RESULT SCREEN IS :

Which version of ADS you are using ?

To All

Do not use a database pointer in the creation of your indexes ..

USE adsindex.asc
INDEX ON adsindex->no TO adsindex
SET INDEX TO adsindex

INDEX on no To adsindex ..

The Following code, tested under ADS 7.1 and 8.1 works as expected, in both CDX and NTX file formats:

Test were made with xHarbour 99.61

REQUEST ADS
RDDSETDEFAULT("ADS")
AdsSetServerType(7)
AdsSetFileType(1)
USE kokoo
INDEX ON NO TO kokoo
Browse()

hi all:

?adsversion() ==> 8.10

Do not use a database pointer in the creation of your indexes ..

INDEX ON adsindex->no TO adsindex
INDEX ON no TO adsindex

==> same

my xHarbour version :99.70

what my screen image:
http://kokookao.myweb.hinet.net/xharbour/index_browse.jpg

try edit item no:

HST-1002-1
HST-1002 ==>HST-1002-
HST-1002-2
HST-1002-4
HST-1002-3

BROWSE():
HST-1002- ==>first now
HST-1002-1
HST-1002-2
HST-1002-3
HST-1002-4

why HST-1002 can not sort in first ?
bug or library problem ?
it is correct sort in "dbfcdx" rdd .

try xHarbour 0.99.61 ==>same problem

database browse field NO:
================
HST-1002-1
HST-1002-2
HST-1002-3
HST-1002-4
HST-1002
===============

cITEM:="HST-1002"+SPACE(2)

DBSEEK(cITEM) //==> Correct
DBSEEK(TRIM(cITEM)) //==> not Correct , seek "HST-1002-1"

looks like a bug ?

by **R.F.** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 3:49 pm

Curious thing:

If you add a "-" at the end it sorts acording to what you need, if you leave a space instead of the "-" it sends to the end of the indexed item.

Let me check with xHarbour.com

>DBSEEK(TRIM(cITEM)) //==> not Correct , seek "HST-1002-1"

This is not a bug, it is correctly finding the first match to "HST-1002" which is 'HST-1002-1"

If you want to seek for an exact match, you always have pad the search item to the length of the field being seeked.

hi James :
Thank you for reply.

IN RDD "DBFCDX" FIELD NO:
================
HST-1002
HST-1002-1
HST-1002-2
HST-1002-3
HST-1002-4
===============
DBSEEK(TRIM(cITEM)) //==> "HST-1002 "

IN RDD "ADS" FIELD NO:
================
HST-1002-1
HST-1002-2
HST-1002-3
HST-1002-4
HST-1002
===============
DBSEEK(TRIM(cITEM)) //==> "HST-1002-1"

What my problem is the Index Sorting not correct , not dbseek() problem.

I understand about the index problem and I don't have an answer for that.

For the seek, it appears that the ADS RDD is incorrect.

hi all:

Should I edit any includ file code for RDD "ADS" ?

#include "fivewin.ch"
#include "ads.ch"

RddRegister( "ADS", 1 )
RddSetDefault( "ADS" )

SET FILETYPE TO CDX

AdsSetServerType(1) //local
AdsSetDeleted(.T.)

USE ITEM NEW EXCL
INDEX ON ITEM->NO TO ITEM
=>
dbUseArea(.T.,,"ITEM",,if(.F. .or. .T.,!.T.,NIL),.F. )
dbCreateIndex((FILE_TH + "ITEM"),"ITEM->NO",{||ITEM->NO},IIF(.F.,.t.,NIL ) )

Now the "Index on " command transfer form fwstd.ch.

Best Regards
