• Database Types

    By Markus Koller 2 decades ago

    Hi Julien,



    Great work, I like it!



    Just to get this right: All the databases must be of the same type, right? You can define the field names only globally for all databases, say, "DocTitle" must be the document's title in all searchable databases.

      Hi Markus,



      Yes, you can have different databases type but your results list must be displayed using common fields or properties like :

      dbtitle <– database title

      score <– document score return by the ftsearch

      author <– @author

      form <– form use to create the document

      creationdatedsp <– @created

      url <– absolute url to reach the document





      But if you want special fields to be displayed in your results list, you'll need to have this fields in all your databases. If you set a special field which is not in all your target databases, no error will occur but nothing will be displayed in place of your field section.



      I hope that my explanations are clear…
