dc_dbposition and db_position

[rdonnay]

Piotr.

Unfortunately, PGDBE doesn't support dbPosition().
I could write a DC_DbPosition() that would work but it would be slow on large databases.

I wrote functions like DC_KeyNo(), DC_KeyCount(), DC_KeyPos() back in the Clipper days before they were available for DBFNTX.
If Alaska doesn't eventually support this for PGDBE, I will use the same algorithm.

Currently, DC_DbPosition() returns a 0 if the dbe is PGDBE.

thanks for your reply. In this case in DCBROWSE a THUMBLOCK option os a good solution for the vertical scrollbar.

this is when use pgDBE while you have to wait for last Element of Result Set.

Problem of pgDBE is Alaska still using Postgre v8.x API.

using Postgre v9.x API, e.g. native with Phil Ide PG Class, you can use Function ROW_NUMBER() in a SELECT Statment.

Code: Select all

cQuery := "SELECT "+cDBSfield+", "+cOrder+", row_number() OVER (ORDER BY "+cDBSfield+") FROM "+ cTable +;
           IF( EMPTY( ::_cWhere ), "", " WHERE " + ::_cWhere ) + ;
           " ORDER BY "+cDBSfield

Currently, DC_DbPosition() returns a 0 if the dbe is PGDBE.

using pgDBE i do NOT recommend to use a normal Browse with DbSkipper() yet.
every SKIP meed to send a Qwery to PostgreSQL Server ... this is very slow on large Table.

as you got a Result Set you can build a Class and move within a Result Set without using a Array to Browse.
here Sample from Phil Ide Mybrowse CLASS ( XbpBrowse() wrapper ) from 2001 ( !!! )
