The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Firebird, Delphi - Need help in an efficient way of updating a table

Asked by MerlaP83 in Interbase / Firebird Database, Delphi Database, Delphi IDE

Hi all,

Well, I am using 2 tables (Players+teams) and at the moment I am using a rather slow process using Listboxes etc to get the result I want. But I think I can manage to achieve it using only FB SQL commands which I would think improves the speed a lot.

What I want to achieve:

I want to select the first 6 names(field is called NAME) where Club = clubchosen.caption and Injury = 0 and Pos = D. No problems doing this using:

SELECT First 6 * FROM SPELARE where klubb = '''+clubchosencaption+'''' and Pos = 'D' and Injury = '0' order by Def DESC;

Here's basically what I need help with:

From those 6 records chosen, the first 2 needs to have its field "Lineup" updated to '1', the following two results(3+4) should have the field "Lineup" set to 2 and finally the last 2 records(5+6) should have the field "Lineup" set to 3.

At the same time, the Players table holds 2 fields called Def and Off (basically the strength of the player)

From the query mentioned above and the 6 records that shows up, the Def and Off(holds a number from 1-20) should be added and the final result should be placed in LineupDef.Caption(for Def field) and LineupOff.Caption(for Off field).

What would be the most efficient way to achieve this, especially the update method where it also needs to do some counting? (The db will only be used locally.. used Paradox before but it was way too slow when I reached 10k records).

Hope you can understand me and bare with my poor english.
