Hello all,
Hope all are having a nice time.
This time I came up with one more problem to be sorted out and I need your extended help and cooperation as you all ever did.
The problem is as follows: | I am having a table like Emp table with various fields like Empno, Ename, Job, Sal, Deptno...Now I want to implement a serch functionality on this table. Just by giving EName or Sal or Empno or Job .. I should be able to retrive all the records having the matchingdetails I entered. Similar to searching of matching jobs in a job site or while googling for a particular topic in Google.
|
I Hope I am clearwith my problem. Please get back if you need some other clarifications from my side. Please also try to send sample code snippets if possible as they will be very helpful to me. Hope to get back from you at the earliest. Thanking you in anticipation.
Regards,
Vamsi K Gummadi.

The multi_column_datastore feature of Oracle Text is ideal for this sort of thing, as shown below.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> ALTER TABLE emp ADD (any_column VARCHAR2 (1))
2 /
Table altered.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> BEGIN
2 CTX_DDL.CREATE_PREFERENCE ('your_multi', 'MULTI_COLUMN_DATASTORE');
3 CTX_DDL.SET_ATTRIBUTE ('your_multi', 'columns', 'ename, sal, empno, job, mgr');
4 END;
5 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE INDEX your_index ON emp (any_column)
2 INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
3 PARAMETERS ('DATASTORE your_multi')
4 /
Index created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> SELECT empno, ename, sal, job, mgr FROM emp WHERE CONTAINS (any_column, 'JONES') > 0
2 /
EMPNO ENAME SAL JOB MGR
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ----------
7566 JONES 2975 MANAGER 7839
SCOTT@orcl_11g> SELECT empno, ename, sal, job, mgr FROM emp WHERE CONTAINS (any_column, 'CLERK') > 0
2 /
EMPNO ENAME SAL JOB MGR
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ----------

7900 JAMES 950 CLERK 7698
7934 MILLER 1300 CLERK 7782
SCOTT@orcl_11g> SELECT empno, ename, sal, job, mgr FROM emp WHERE CONTAINS (any_column, '7902') > 0
2 /

Thank you Barbara Boehmer shall work out with your suggestion and get back to you after execution. Is thereno othermethod other than this? I mean to ask about execution of a simple query (or complex) but without using an Index over the table. Is the above scenario possible?
I shall once again than you for your effort in trying to solve my problem.
Regards,
Vamsi K Gummadi.
