RE: SQL Problem

I thought about that during the design, but the data changes extremely
quickly so by loading into the dataset, I lose the updates and deletes
that occur. We add/change/delete records from this file quickly.

Hi Sharon,

I know you have your answer, but I wanted to offer another
alternative....

How big is your dataset? If it is not too large, you could load the
dataset
to an data structure array in one fetch. Then any changes of your sort
field would simply require a sort of the array by the desired subfield
and
refill the subfile. No database access needed.

Good Luck,
David

Subject: SQL Problem

I have a new situation I have not encountered before. I have a work

with

display that can have up to 13 different position to values with 13
different sorts. Seems like the perfect candidate for sql.



All my other sql routines use a standard prepare, declare, open, fetch
close with one cursor. I thought if I closed the cursor I might be

able

to re-open it with a different prepare but no luck. It doesn't allow
that. (Figures).



Basically I can use 1 to 13 different position-to fields and one sort

at

a time.



So how do I go about this?
