My question is: How can I order a DBGrid by a calculated field. I am using the C++Builder Starter Editon and do not have a ClientDataSet available in this version to create an Index on the field and order by the index of a column.So this is not an option. (Read this in many threads) I am using an TIBDataSet (ibds below) and I am filtering the data. Works fine....for the DB-columns, not for the calculated ones... Any ideas of how I might get around this problem?
void __fastcall TForm1::DBGrid3TitleClick(TColumn *Column)
{
static cIdx = 0;
static String oby = "ASC";
TBookmark CurrentPosition;
TIBDataSet *ibds = IBDS_accountsDist;
CurrentPosition = ibds->GetBookmark();
if (cIdx != Column->Index) {
oby = "ASC"; // ANOTHER column choosen
} else if (oby == "ASC") {
oby = "DESC";
} else oby = "ASC";
cIdx = Column->Index;
ibds->Filtered = false;
switch (Column->Index){
case 0: ibds->Filter = "ORDER BY SumAj "+oby; break; // SumAj is a calculated field => Does not work
case 1: ibds->Filter = "ORDER BY CSAL_ACCOUNTNAME "+ oby; break; // DB-field WORKS FINE
}
ibds->Filtered = true;
ibds->GotoBookmark(CurrentPosition);
}
You cannot do it. TIBDataSet is a representation of the underlying database. Basically it fetches the records in the order defined in the SQL.
The easiest way is to use TDBClientDataset but it is not included in Starter version of c++ Builder. You can explore other ways, for example pre-loading all records in a std::list and then use the order function to order the records. Finally you can show them using a simple TGrid o TStringGrid.
In any case, I recommend to upgrade C++Builder since TClientDataSet is one of the main pieces in most of data projects, specially when you need to create medium-large projects.
Mixing database specific components like TIBDataSet with the user interface penalizes the scalability and maintenance of the project.

I have an application using solr that needs to be able to sort on two fields. The Solrj api is a little confusing, providing multiple different APIs.
I am using Solr 4.10.4
I have tried:
for (int i = 0; i < entry.getValue().size();) {
logger.debug("Solr({}) {}: {} {}", epName, entry.getKey(), entry
.getValue().get(i), entry.getValue().get(i + 1));
if (i == 0) {
query.setSort(new SolrQuery.SortClause(entry.getValue().get(i++), SolrQuery.ORDER.valueOf(entry.getValue().get(i++))));
} else {
query.addSort(new SolrQuery.SortClause(entry.getValue().get(i++), SolrQuery.ORDER.valueOf(entry.getValue().get(i++))));
}
}
When I look at the generated URL I only see the last SortClause sort=sequence+asc
I also tried creating a List and the setSorts SolrQuery method and that too seems to output only as single sort field, always the last one.
I was able to create the correct sort clause by generating it manually with strings.
I have tried addOrUpdateSort as well. I think I've tried most of the obvious combinations. of methods in the Solrj API.
This does work:
StringBuilder sortString = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < entry.getValue().size();) {
if (sortString.length() > 0) {
sortString.append(",");
}
logger.debug("Solr({}) {}: {} {}", epName, entry.getKey(), entry
.getValue().get(i), entry.getValue().get(i + 1));
sortString.append(entry.getValue().get(i++)).append(" ").
append(SolrQuery.ORDER.valueOf(entry.getValue().get(i++)));
}
query.set("sort",sortString.toString());
The sort clause I want to see is: sort=is_cited+asc,sequence+asc
The solrj API seems to only output the final clause.
I suspect a bug in solrj 4.10
can you substitute setSort with addSort ie
for (int i = 0; i < entry.getValue().size();) {
logger.debug("Solr({}) {}: {} {}", epName, entry.getKey(), entry
.getValue().get(i), entry.getValue().get(i + 1));
if (i == 0) {
query.addSort(new SolrQuery.SortClause(entry.getValue().get(i++), SolrQuery.ORDER.valueOf(entry.getValue().get(i++))));
} else {
query.addSort(new SolrQuery.SortClause(entry.getValue().get(i++), SolrQuery.ORDER.valueOf(entry.getValue().get(i++))));
}
}
And let me know if this worked
Check out addOrUpdateSort()
Updates or adds a single sort field specification to the current sort
information. If the sort field already exist in the sort information map,
its position is unchanged and the sort order is set; if it does not exist,
it is appended at the end with the specified order..
#return the modified SolrQuery object, for easy chaining
#since 4.2
I have a shape file (Sample.shp) along with two other files (Sample.shx and Sample.dbf), which has geometry (polygons) defined for 15 pincodes of Bombay.
I am able to view the .shp file using the Quickstart tutorial.
File file = JFileDataStoreChooser.showOpenFile("shp", null);
if (file == null) {
return;
}
FileDataStore store = FileDataStoreFinder.getDataStore(file);
SimpleFeatureSource featureSource = store.getFeatureSource();
// Create a map content and add our shapefile to it
MapContent map = new MapContent();
map.setTitle("Quickstart");
Style style = SLD.createSimpleStyle(featureSource.getSchema());
Layer layer = new FeatureLayer(featureSource, style);
map.addLayer(layer);
// Now display the map
JMapFrame.showMap(map);
Now I want to convert the geometry of these 15 pincodes to 15 Geometry/Polygon objects so that I can use Geometry.contains() to find if a point falls in a particular Geometry/Polygon.
I tried:
ShapefileReader r = new ShapefileReader(new ShpFiles(file),true,false,geometryFactory);
System.out.println(r.getCount(0)); >> returns 51
System.out.println(r.hasNext()); >> returns false
Any help is really appreciated
In fact you don't need to extract the geometries your self - just create a filter and iterate through the filtered collection. In your case there will probably be only one feature returned.
Filter pointInPolygon = CQL.toFilter("CONTAINS(the_geom, POINT(1 2))");
SimpleFeatureCollection features = source.getFeatures(filter);
SimpleFeatureIterator iterator = features.features();
try {
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
SimpleFeature feature = iterator.next();
Geometry geom = (Geometry) feature.getDefaultGeometry();
/*... do something here */
}
} finally {
iterator.close(); // IMPORTANT
}
For a full discussion of querying datastores see the Query Lab.
I used the above solution and tried a few combinations. Just changed "THE_GEOM" to lower case and POINT is in order (Lon Lat)
Filter filter = CQL.toFilter("CONTAINS(the_geom, POINT(72.82916 18.942883))");
SimpleFeatureCollection collection=featureSource.getFeatures(filter);
SimpleFeatureIterator iterator = collection.features();
try {
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
SimpleFeature feature = iterator.next();
.....
}
} finally {
iterator.close(); // IMPORTANT
}
When I have an array of Sitecore IDs, for example TargetIDs from a MultilistField, how can I query the ContentSearchManager to return all the SearchResultItem objects?
I have tried the following which gives an "Only constant arguments is supported." error.
using (var s = Sitecore.ContentSearch.ContentSearchManager.GetIndex("sitecore_master_index").CreateSearchContext())
{
rpt.DataSource = s.GetQueryable<SearchResultItem>().Where(x => f.TargetIDs.Contains(x.ItemId));
rpt.DataBind();
}
I suppose I could build up the Linq query manually with multiple OR queries. Is there a way I can use Sitecore.ContentSearch.Utilities.LinqHelper to build the query for me?
Assuming I got this technique to work, is it worth using it for only, say, 10 items? I'm just starting my first Sitecore 7 project and I have it in mind that I want to use the index as much as possible.
Finally, does the Page Editor support editing fields somehow with a SearchResultItem as the source?
Update 1
I wrote this function which utilises the predicate builder as dunston suggests. I don't know yet if this is actually worth using (instead of Items).
public static List<T> GetSearchResultItemsByIDs<T>(ID[] ids, bool mustHaveUrl = true)
where T : Sitecore.ContentSearch.SearchTypes.SearchResultItem, new()
{
Assert.IsNotNull(ids, "ids");
if (!ids.Any())
{
return new List<T>();
}
using (var s = Sitecore.ContentSearch.ContentSearchManager.GetIndex("sitecore_master_index").CreateSearchContext())
{
var predicate = PredicateBuilder.True<T>();
predicate = ids.Aggregate(predicate, (current, id) => current.Or(p => p.ItemId == id));
var results = s.GetQueryable<T>().Where(predicate).ToDictionary(x => x.ItemId);
var query = from id in ids
let item = results.ContainsKey(id) ? results[id] : null
where item != null && (!mustHaveUrl || item.Url != null)
select item;
return query.ToList();
}
}
It forces the results to be in the same order as supplied in the IDs array, which in my case is important. (If anybody knows a better way of doing this, would love to know).
It also, by default, ensures that the Item has a URL.
My main code then becomes:
var f = (Sitecore.Data.Fields.MultilistField) rootItem.Fields["Main navigation links"];
rpt.DataSource = ContentSearchHelper.GetSearchResultItemsByIDs<SearchResultItem>(f.TargetIDs);
rpt.DataBind();
I'm still curious how the Page Editor copes with SearchResultItem or POCOs in general (my second question), am going to continue researching that now.
Thanks for reading,
Steve
You need to use the predicate builder to create multiple OR queries, or AND queries.
The code below should work.
using (var s = Sitecore.ContentSearch.ContentSearchManager.GetIndex("sitecore_master_index").CreateSearchContext())
{
var predicate = PredicateBuilder.True<SearchResultItem>();
foreach (var targetId in f.Targetids)
{
var tempTargetId = targetId;
predicate = predicate.Or(x => x.ItemId == tempTargetId)
}
rpt.DataSource = s.GetQueryable<SearchResultItem>().Where(predicate);
rpt.DataBind();
}
I'm able to generate the facet and bind the result in Linkbutton within repeater control. Now I'm facing problem in generating the facet query with OR operator when the user selects more than 1 value of same facet type in Sitecore 7.
What can be done to solve it?
Thanks
Here's a blog post about solving this using PredicateBuilder with a specific code example:
http://www.nttdatasitecore.com/en/Blog/2013/November/Building-Facet-Queries-with-PredicateBuilder.aspx
To implement the Facet search in Sitecore use PredicateBuilder class to build the filter query and then add the filter query to the base query. Code is mentioned below:
List<PeopleFields> objPeoplefields = new List<PeopleFields>();
IQueryable<PeopleFields> Query = null;
var predicatePractice = Sitecore.ContentSearch.Utilities.PredicateBuilder.False<PeopleFields>();
var predicateOffice = Sitecore.ContentSearch.Utilities.PredicateBuilder.False<PeopleFields>();
using (var context = ContentSearchManager.GetIndex(SITECORE_WEB_INDEX).CreateSearchContext())
{
//Base query
Query = context.GetQueryable<PeopleFields>().Where(i => i.FirstName.StartsWith(txtFirstName.Text)).Where(i => i.LastName.StartsWith(txtLastName.Text));
foreach (string strselecteFacet in lstPracticefacetSelected)
{
//filter query
predicatePractice = predicatePractice.Or(x => x.Practice.Like(strselecteFacet));
}
foreach (string strselecteFacet in lstOfficefacetSelected)
{
//Filter query
predicateOffice = predicateOffice.Or(x => x.Office.Like(strselecteFacet));
}
//Joining the filter query alongwith base query
if (lstPracticefacetSelected.Count > 0 && lstOfficefacetSelected.Count > 0)
Query = Query.Filter(predicatePractice).Filter(predicateOffice);
else if (lstPracticefacetSelected.Count > 0 && lstOfficefacetSelected.Count == 0)
Query = Query.Filter(predicatePractice);
else if (lstPracticefacetSelected.Count == 0 && lstOfficefacetSelected.Count > 0)
Query = Query.Filter(predicateOffice);
objPeoplefields = Query.ToList();
}
As a quick way, if you're ok with having SitecoreUISearchResultItem as the query result type, you may be able to utilize the same method Sitecore 7 uses to parse queries entered in the content editor search:
Sitecore.Buckets.Util.UIFilterHelpers.ParseDatasourceString(string query)
If that's not up to what you're after, reading how it's implemented with a decompiler (ILSpy, DotPeek, Reflector, Resharper, etc) may help you in composing an expression manually based on dynamic criteria.
Currently, I'm using Conversion Studio to bring in a CSV file and store the contents in an AX table. This part is working. I have a block defined and the fields are correctly mapped.
The CSV file contains several comments columns, such as Comments-1, Comments-2, etc. There are a fixed number of these. The public comments are labeled as Comments-1...5, and the private comments are labeled as Private-Comment-1...5.
The desired result would be to bring the data into the AX table (as is currently working) and either concatenate the comment fields or store them as separate comments into the DocuRef table as internal or external notes.
Would it not require just setting up a new block in the Conversion Studio project that I already have setup? Can you point me to a resource that maybe shows a similar procedure or how to do this?
Thanks in advance!
After chasing the rabbit down the deepest of rabbit holes, I discovered that the easiest way to do this is like so:
Override the onEntityCommit method of your Document Handler (that extends AppDataDocumentHandler), like so:
AppEntityAction onEntityCommit(AppDocumentBlock documentBlock, AppBlock fromBlock, AppEntity toEntity)
{
AppEntityAction ret;
int64 recId; // Should point to the record currently being imported into CMCTRS
;
ret = super(documentBlock, fromBlock, toEntity);
recId = toEntity.getRecord().recId;
// Do whatever you need to do with the recId now
return ret;
}
Here is my method to insert the notes, in case you need that too:
private static boolean insertNote(RefTableId _tableId, int64 _docuRefId, str _note, str _name, boolean _isPublic)
{
DocuRef docuRef;
boolean insertResult = false;
;
if (_docuRefId)
{
try
{
docuRef.clear();
ttsbegin;
docuRef.RefCompanyId = curext();
docuRef.RefTableId = _tableId;
docuRef.RefRecId = _docuRefId;
docuRef.TypeId = 'Note';
docuRef.Name = _name;
docuRef.Notes = _note;
docuRef.Restriction = (_isPublic) ? DocuRestriction::External : DocuRestriction::Internal;
docuRef.insert();
ttscommit;
insertResult = true;
}
catch
{
ttsabort;
error("Could not insert " + ((_isPublic) ? "public" : "private") + " comment:\n\n\t\"" + _note + "\"");
}
}
return insertResult;
}
