I suggest first create ADO Connection, this connection we can use in ADO
Recordsets (in dBase terminology TABLE ), second parameter is string or ADO
Connection object. If we create connection object we can use
cnn:Execute("Select * FROM Table"), cnn:Errors and open method of recordsets
is fast.

Srdjan,

Our first intention with the ADORDD is that a Harbour/xHarbour application may replace the used RDD for the ADORDD and the application automatically may work with a different databases engine like MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle, etc. with no changes or at least the minimum changes.

We can encapsulate the ADO connection objects inside the ADORDD itself, so they will be automatically created and may be accessed using DbOrdInfo() or another RDD standard function, for each workarea.

Actually we are planning and implementing the indexes management, later on we will go for the relations. As soon as possible we will automatically create and keep the ADO connections objects inside the ADORDD itself.

Antonio,

First excuse me for big messages

Srdjan,

You are welcome though we appreciate if you build a ZIP file, upload it to www.rapidshare.com or similar and just place here the download url, thanks

Srdjan,

With this recent ADORDD change now you don't have to care about ADO connections and catalogs as they are automatically created and managed by the ADORDD

Please notice that the samples source code remains the same

Dear Antonio,

when i set an legal SQL Filter like

Code: Select all  Expand view

   SET FILTER TO "Status < 'D' AND Mandant = 1 AND (VB = 'AA' OR VB = 'WW')"


or

Code: Select all  Expand view

   SET FILTER TO "Status < 'D' AND Mandant = 1 AND VB IN ('AA','WW') "


an Error occured:

Error description: Error ADODB.Recordset/16389 E_FAIL: _FILTER

This is the Problem: (VB = 'AA' OR VB = 'WW')

Any Ideas ?

Regards Norbert

Norbert,

When you get an error ADODB.Recordset/16389 E_FAIL: _FILTER it means that the filter condition is not valid.

As we do some translations with the filter expression, please make this change in the ADORDD source code and check the expression that is shown:

Code: Select all  Expand view

STATIC FUNCTION ADO_SETFILTER( nWA, aInfo )

   local oADO := USRRDD_AREADATA( nWA )[ 1 ]
  local cFilter := aInfo[ 2 ]
     
  if Left( cFilter, 1 ) == '"' .and. Right( cFilter, 1 ) == '"'
     cFilter = SubStr( cFilter, 2, Len( cFilter ) - 2 )
  endif     
     
  cFilter = StrTran( cFilter, '""', "" )
  cFilter = StrTran( cFilter, '"', "'" )
  cFilter = StrTran( cFilter, "''", "'" )
  cFilter = StrTran( cFilter, "==", "=" )
  cFilter = StrTran( cFilter, ".and.", "AND" )
  cFilter = StrTran( cFilter, ".or.", "OR" )
  cFilter = StrTran( cFilter, ".AND.", "AND" )
  cFilter = StrTran( cFilter, ".OR.", "OR" )

   MsgInfo( cFilter )
   oADO:Filter = cFilter

RETURN SUCCESS


Hello Antonio,

the Filter from MsgInfo is correct and in the normal query from sql-server or in your odbc-functions it works fine.

Norbert,

Are you using Microsoft SQL server ?

Antonio Linares wrote:Norbert,

Are you using Microsoft SQL server ?

Yes. MS SQL 2000

Norbert,

Are "Status", "Mandant" and "VB" fieldnames ?

Are they written the same way (first upper and lower case) into the table ?

Antonio Linares wrote:Norbert,

Yes, are Fieldnames and in the Query-String includet.

case is the same (in ADO Case-sensitive ???)

Fernando Sanchez wrote:Norbert,

works other filters to you with ADORDD and MSSQL?

other Filters works fine. but if i have OR this don´t work.

Example: You Have 2 Fields

STATUS and PERSON. You seek all records from STATUS = 'A' and from
PERSON AA or BB or CC, but only STATUS A

the Select string is:
SELECT FROM ADRESS WHERE STATUS = 'A' AND (PERSON = 'AA' OR PERSON = 'BB' OR PERSON = 'CC')
... ERROR _FILTER
or you write

SELECT FROM ADRESS WHERE STATUS = 'A' AND PERSON IN ('AA', 'BB', 'CC')
... ERROR _FILTER

on the ( or´s ) an IN () an Error occured.

If you write in the WHERE ...
WHERE STATUS = 'A' AND PERSON = 'AA' OR (STATUS = 'A' AND PERSON = 'BB' ) OR (STATUS = 'A' AND PERSON = 'CC' )
... it works. but all 3 ways are legal SQL Syntax.

Filter Property
Indicates a filter for data in a Recordset.

Settings and Return Values
Sets or returns a Variant value, which can contain one of the following:

Criteria string — a string made up of one or more individual clauses concatenated with AND or OR operators.
Array of bookmarks — an array of unique bookmark values that point to records in the Recordset object.
A FilterGroupEnum value.
Remarks
Use the Filter property to selectively screen out records in a Recordset object. The filtered Recordset becomes the current cursor. Other properties that return values based on the current cursor are affected, such as AbsolutePosition, AbsolutePage, RecordCount, and PageCount. This is because setting the Filter property to a specific value will move the current record to the first record that satisfies the new value.

The criteria string is made up of clauses in the form FieldName-Operator-Value (for example, "LastName = 'Smith'"). You can create compound clauses by concatenating individual clauses with AND (for example, "LastName = 'Smith' AND FirstName = 'John'") or OR (for example, "LastName = 'Smith' OR LastName = 'Jones'"). Use the following guidelines for criteria strings:

FieldName must be a valid field name from the Recordset. If the field name contains spaces, you must enclose the name in square brackets.
Operator must be one of the following: <, >, <=, >=, <>, =, or LIKE.
Value is the value with which you will compare the field values (for example, 'Smith', #8/24/95#, 12.345, or $50.00). Use single quotes with strings and pound signs (#) with dates. For numbers, you can use decimal points, dollar signs, and scientific notation. If Operator is LIKE, Value can use wildcards. Only the asterisk (*) and percent sign (%) wild cards are allowed, and they must be the last character in the string. Value cannot be null.
Note To include single quotation marks (') in the filter Value, use two single quotation marks to represent one. For example, to filter on O'Malley, the criteria string should be "col1 = 'O''Malley'". To include single quotation marks at both the beginning and the end of the filter value, enclose the string with pound signs (#). For example, to filter on '1', the criteria string should be "col1 = #'1'#".
There is no precedence between AND and OR. Clauses can be grouped within parentheses. However, you cannot group clauses joined by an OR and then join the group to another clause with an AND, like this:
(LastName = 'Smith' OR LastName = 'Jones') AND FirstName = 'John'
Instead, you would construct this filter as
(LastName = 'Smith' AND FirstName = 'John') OR (LastName = 'Jones' AND FirstName = 'John')
In a LIKE clause, you can use a wildcard at the beginning and end of the pattern (for example, LastName Like '*mit*'), or only at the end of the pattern (for example, LastName Like 'Smit*').
The filter constants make it easier to resolve individual record conflicts during batch update mode by allowing you to view, for example, only those records that were affected during the last UpdateBatch method call.

Setting the Filter property itself may fail because of a conflict with the underlying data (for example, a record has already been deleted by another user). In such a case, the provider returns warnings to the Errors collection but does not halt program execution. A run-time error occurs only if there are conflicts on all the requested records. Use the Status property to locate records with conflicts.

Setting the Filter property to a zero-length string ("") has the same effect as using the adFilterNone constant.

Whenever the Filter property is set, the current record position moves to the first record in the filtered subset of records in the Recordset. Similarly, when the Filter property is cleared, the current record position moves to the first record in the Recordset.

See the Bookmark property for an explanation of bookmark values from which you can build an array to use with the Filter property.

Only Filters in the form of Criteria Strings (e.g. OrderDate > '12/31/1999') affect the contents of a persisted Recordset. Filters created with an Array of Bookmarks or using a value from the FilterGroupEnum will not affect the contents of the persisted Recordset. These rules apply to Recordsets created with either client-side or server-side cursors.

Note When you apply the adFilterPendingRecords flag to a filtered and modified Recordset in the batch update mode, the resultant Recordset is empty if the filtering was based on the key field of a single-keyed table and the modification was made on the key field values. The resultant Recordset will be non-empty if one of the following is true:
The filtering was based on non-key fields in a single-keyed table.
The filtering was based on any fields in a multiple-keyed table.
Modifications were made on non-key fields in a single-keyed table.
Modifications were made on any fields in a multiple-keyed table.
The following table summarizes the effects of adFilterPendingRecords in different combinations of filtering and modifications. The left column shows the possible modifications; modifications can be made on any of the non-keyed fields, on the key field in a single-keyed table, or on any of the key fields in a multiple-keyed table. The top row shows the filtering criterion; filtering can be based on any of the non-keyed fields, the key field in a single-keyed table, or any of the key fields in a multiple-keyed table. The intersecting cells show the results: + means that applying adFilterPendingRecords results
