numero = 11919
interpreted = N
texte = Blokes and Blokettes...I was trying to experiment with a fairly large database (160,000 records - 12 fields) that was a bit unmanageable as a single file (around 16 megs on disk), and so I thought I'd be clever and split it up into 12 different databases of roughly 15,000 records a piece.I was thinking I could perform a search treating all of these files as ONE, by doing something like:
Name: Company:
Which doesn't work, since it appears that it looks as the list of databases I gave it as one REALLY LONG filename.I've since re-joined the databases into ONE file and searching works fine (aside from needing TONS of RAM), but I could see searching multiple databases having the same form as being a rather useful function - so, is it possible or WILL it be possible in the future?Dan Keldsen - djk@delphigroup.com Director, I.S. - webmaster@delphigroup.com Delphi Consulting Group, Inc. - http://www.delphigroup.com/ 100 City Hall Plaza - ph: 617-247-1511 Boston, MA 02108-2106 - fax:617-247-4957 Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
