Hi all,
Does anyone know how to force Oracle to always use the right index when sorting tables? I know that Hints can be used but how do you implement them in Clarion? I have tried putting the corresponding index name into the External name field on my keys in my Clarion dictionary but it doesn't make any difference. I have also tried implementing the hints in code using Prop:Hint(the hint is set in code whenever a tab is changed) whenever I change tabs on a generated Clarion browse which works sometimes and always throws up this error after changing 2 tabs
Record retreival error
Error: (ORA: - 01480: trailing null missing from STR bind value(-1480))
attempting to access a record from the BCW.DIARY file.
Returning to previous window.
(BCW.DIARY is the name of the file I am accessing)
I have my file set to Enable field binding in the dictionary.
I currently set PROP:Hint to the right index whenever I change tabs. Is this the right place to do this? Is there a better embed point in which to set the Hint?
The way my application is currently working means that any sorting on a browse is really , really slow.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
