4GL Patterns #9 - Search
Monday, 22 September 2008
Specific fields are marked as being searchable. User interface and code is automatically generated.
Examples of Search in RAD
- Adding Full Text Indexes to char columns - MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server
- Query By Example (QBE) in MS Access - is a special case where all fields are made searchable
- Autogenerated modal forms with search/filter capabilities. Used when look-up tables get large
