Incremental Searching in Database Applications

From , Former About.com GuideMay 26, 2006

Follow me on:

BDE :: The Incremental searching article, presented an algorithm to search for values in a database table. GoToNearest method was used to find the nearest match to a partial field value. In order to use the GoToNearest an application must specify the IndexName property of a table. In other words if we want to search for some Company we have to make sure that Company field is defined as secondary index (ByCompany).

Many of you have mailed me with questions like: "How can I search for records in a table on non-indexed field?" In this article we'll extend the Incremental filling search technique to find a value in any (every) field - indexed or non-indexed
