Verification

edited November 2006 in General
When ever we create a new query it seems to take forever to create. We
have looked at the database to see what is occuring and noticed WHERE ('c'
<> 'c') appended to the SQL to help in the verification process.

Now this is no issue when there is 100's of results to a query but we
typically will have 1000's to 10,000's or records and the speed is driving
our clients nut.

In our old heavily customised RB6 we changed the verification to build a
temporary view to speed this process up. (We use Oracle)
Now my question are,

Is there a way that we can change the verification method of the SQL
generated within the Data tab?

Is it possible to override the standard verification with our own?

Or (not my preferred method) do we have to hack the source code again?

Is this a feature we could request if it does not exist?

Regards
Charles

    Hi Charles,

    There is no automatic way to override how ReportBuilder gathers the field
    information however we created the DADE plugin architecture so that you can
    take control by altering them as you need (or by creating a completely new
    one). Depending on which plugin you are using, take a look at the
    TdaDataset.SetDataName to see where we are gettig the field info. This
    routine can be easily altered to meet your needs.

    Hi Nico,

    I actually did not mean how the field information was gathered although
    this information I might be able to use later. What I actually mean't was
    the WHERE ('c' <> 'c') that is appended in the following areas
    TdaSQL.BuildWhereClause and TdaSQL.UpdateCalcSearchCriteriaDataTypes.

    I was wondering if it is possible to override these areas at all?

    Hi Charles,

    Unfortunately there is no automatic way to alter the way these routines
    access data. Thank you for the feedback, we will consider enhancing this
    for a later release of ReportBuilder.
