Re: How to combine multiple field primary key and Row Versioning

Hello Stuart,

Thank you for your hint. I overloaded the = operator for xid,int4.
The problem is caused by multiple field primary key; it works with a single field primary key.
I got the hint to use a *dummy* single field primary key and use unique indices. I have to change all tables, if there is no other way to work with multiple field primary key and Row Versioning.

Did you already find a fast solution for combo boxes? Since now I was not lucky. I tried to use *OpenRecordset with( dbopendynamic ) * to get automatically changes made by an other user, but this didn't work the way I expected.
1. I can't see the changes made by an other user
2. my user defined function, which uses the dynamic recordset as rowsource, for the combo box is slower than rowsource type via linked table

My form becomes slow, because I use some combo boxes which depend on other combo boxes. I think, that speed would increase if I find a way to write pass through queries with parameters.

Kind regards
Irina

Hello,
I suspect that it doesn't have the xid=int4 operator. Try adding the
following:

create function int4eq(xid,int4)
returns bool
as ''
language 'internal';

create operator = (
leftarg=xid,
rightarg=int4,
procedure=int4eq,
commutator='=',
negator='<>',
restrict=eqsel,
join=eqjoinsel
);

I'm assuming the server reported an error something like:
ERROR: Unable to identify an operator '=' for types 'xid' and 'int4'
You will have to retype this query using an explicit cast
Hope this helps,
- Stuart
