Re: Create_Group_From_Query

Even better, put the bind variables directory into the query string, so:

'SELECT RNumber, RNumber FROM Work_Order WHERE WONumber1 = '||:(bind_variable) || ''''

becomes:

'SELECT RNumber, RNumber FROM Work_Order WHERE WONumber1 = :bind_variable'

The create_group_from_query procedure will bind the variables it finds. This has the advantage that the query is passed to the database engine with bind variables rather than a string, so it will only need to be parsed once - from then on the parsed version will be cached.
