Presented at SIR International Conference A Test Drive Report Presented at SIR International Conference Bath, England by Tom Shriver, DataVisor June 2001

Summary of SIR2002 Enhancements FORMS routine type in PQL Screen Painter Secondary Indexes Long String Variables GRID Auto-Increment Key Field Type Parameterized ODBC queries Various New Commands New PQL Functions Old Problems Fixed Test Drive of SIR2002: © Tom Shriver, DataVisor, 2001

PQL FORMS The Good The Bad Continuity with “Old SIR/Forms” Straightforward Programming Make use of existing Forms Source with nice Features The Bad Takes the “Procedural” out of PQL Test Drive of SIR2002: © Tom Shriver, DataVisor, 2001

Forms Screen Painter FINALLY! Only Partial Set of PQL Dialog Controls We get “Fields” We get Buttons for action We get Static Controls (e.g. images, boxes) Missing List, Choice, Text A couple of bugs in the version I have -- Test Drive of SIR2002: © Tom Shriver, DataVisor, 2001

Secondary Indexes Finally! Possible Sleeper Feature Does away with many inverted lists Hides the “Dummy Case” Start with PROCESS REC VIA … (no CASE IS) Feels Natural Potentially Hide All Case References Would be similar to the USING clause in Forms or SQL Paths Test Drive of SIR2002: © Tom Shriver, DataVisor, 2001

Long Strings Still Needed Quick Report Support (wrap within column) PQL Function for wrapping Have the Potential to Alter how we think of things Similar effect on me as arrays did when they were implemented Test Drive of SIR2002: © Tom Shriver, DataVisor, 2001

Variable Length Records Very Scary Very Much Needed Space Saver – possibly 25% or more Test Drive of SIR2002: © Tom Shriver, DataVisor, 2001

GRID Use as a Record Browser Tool for Data Clean-Up Use to Navigate to a Corresponding Data Screen Test Drive of SIR2002: © Tom Shriver, DataVisor, 2001

New Commands DEDIT POP UP LIST LOOKUP HELP dialog message type A different type of DIALOG Specialized use, but very powerful POP UP LIST Should have been in Visual PQL 2000 Needs support for variable length list (e.g. using arrays) LOOKUP HELP dialog message type CREATE PROCFILE NOTFCHK option on Retrieval/Program/Subroutine Test Drive of SIR2002: © Tom Shriver, DataVisor, 2001
