Search
scanning

Scanning is the default search option for small tables.

Enter text here to perform a scan over supported column types.

Text columns with limited length use a substring search If the entered text is a number, integer columns will be scanned for an exact match of the value.

The scanning search option is disabled for large tables.

seeking

Seeking is the default search option for large tables.

Seeking requires indexes and can only be done using the column (or columns) the index is defined on.

In the single-column case, the database will seek to the position the entered search term would be at and return all rows greater or equal to that value.

In the multiple-column case, the above still applies to the column you supplied non-empty search text for. All previous columns, however, will be using an equality match.

  1. COYeah, I didn't believe it until I created a console app - but good lord! Why would they give you the rope to hang yourself! I hated that about VB.NET - the OrElse and AndAlso keywords!

  2. COI don't see an accepted answer now, I wonder how that got unaccepted. Incidentally, I would have marked an accepted answer based on the answers available at the time. Also, accepted doesn't mean Best :)

  5. COOne of the things that make a url user-friendly is 'discover-ability', meaning you can take a guess at url's simply from the address bar. http://i.love.pets.com/search/cats+dogs could easily lead to http://i.love.pets.com/search/pug+puppies etc

  6. COI agree, both CodeRush and RefactorPro are visually impressive (most of which can be turned off BTW), but for navigating and refactoring Resharper is much better in my opinion of using both products.

  7. COJust wanted to mention that this is an excellent solution if you consider the problem to be linear (i.e. treating `A1B2` as a single number). I still think the problem is multi-dimensional, but I guess we'll just have to wait for the author to clarify :)

  8. COIndeed, the only way to do this is get the server to generate your CSS file which can be done in many ways depending on which language you are using. HttpHandlers are common in C#. You could use jQuery or the likes to add styling to every element with the class 'ourColur' and parametrise your JS

  9. COThis advice goes against the spirit of CSS, which is separation of content and presentation. You way requires changing HTML for presentation sake, and stating in content which elements have same color.
