The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
If they will not let you load free software then mimic it.
A sample user defined function may be
STRSQL
CREATE FUNCTION
BEGIN DECLARE CHARNUMDATE CHAR ( 8 ) ;
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION BEGIN RETURN NULL ;
END ;
SET CHARNUMDATE = CHAR ( NUMDATE ) ;
RETURN DATE ( SUBSTR ( CHARNUMDATE , 1 , 4 ) || '-' || SUBSTR (
CHARNUMDATE , 5 , 2 ) || '-' || SUBSTR ( CHARNUMDATE , 7 , 2 ) ) ;
END
Then you end up selecting the rows with a null return value to find the
erroneous ones like Alan's example.
