How to change the index of query at runtime?

hi yc,

what does you mean? a query has no primary key and no second index. Some databases use indexes automatically for the query some must explezit said to use an index for the query.

for changes a must query closed and reopened except changes on the filteroptions.

The query optimizer of the underlying database system chooses the indexes automatically. Sometimes you can manually add your own plan of the indexes used.
In order to sort the result set of a query you'll have to use the "order by" clause of the "select" statement. To apply different sort orders you'll have to close the query change the "order by" clause und re-open the query.
Ex.:  select a, b, c from d order by c, b, a
So, you cannot change the order of the rows of the query-result-set while the query is open.

Hi, EmmDieh

When i use "order by " in SQL clause, i can modify but not update the query through DBGrid. Why?

It is very important for me to modify and post when use non-primary index!

Thanks for your help.

When using "order by", the result can no longer be a live result. However, you can user UpdateSQL to implement that. So you can use most of the conditional sub-clauses as well as modify the result.

Hi, dwwang
 
Would you give me an example of UpdateSQL which using "order by".

Hi, an example is too complex to provide here, you can see the help on TUpdateSQL component in Delphi, there are detailed explanations as well as examples.

The main idea is that your input to the query is cached, and when you call ApplyUpdates, system will run the SQL statement stored in the TUpdateSQL component to perform the updates. If this helps, leave a message :-)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi, dwwang

I hadn't installed the Local Interbase on my machine.
