full text search
by paul POULAIN 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

Hi, I'm playing with full text searches, that enables you do search very fast in a db, it replaces the where field like "%xx%" that is VERY slow on big tables (non indexed search). It's really a nice feature : immediate result for a search on a 400 000 lines table ! The same search with like %xx% is... more than 30s long (full parsing of the table) ! The problem is that i think this feature is not ANSI-92, so is mysql only compatible. Do you think we should ignore this feature, or become definetly mysql based product ? (unless it's ansi92, in this case, please say it !) documentation : http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Fulltext_Search.html -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIBGB libre http://fr.koha.org)

Monday, December 2, 2002 22:35 CST Paul, etal. Regarding the planned/hopeful addition to Koha of what we in the library world might call a MARC editor (the ability to view bibliographic and authority records in MARC tagged format and add/modify records in MARC tagged format), I was wondering if anybody took a look at the free MARC editor available from Terry Reese from Oregon State U (via URL <http://www.onid.orst.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/>) listed on the LC page on MARC records, Systems, and Tools (URL <http://lcweb.loc.gov/marc/marctools.html>) as a prototype? Since I am a complete neophyte, please excuse if this has already been done and rejected, or is impracticable because of its base in MS COM arch. Reese does claim that users can "access the functionality of the MarcEngine through numerous scripting or programming languages ..." At the very least, it is a handy free editor. Anyway, I hope this may help. There are a number of other useful tools available on the LC page that Koha users might want to be aware of. I've visited the page fairly regularly over 5 years now: it is fairly stable and continues to grow. Bon courage! Amitiés, Steven F. Baljkas Koha novice in Winnipeg

I agree this is not very secure, but it's a rarely modified value and koha 2.0 will need : * IE5+ or Mozilla/Netscape 6+ * javascript enabled. Maybe the best solution would be to include in *.inc files a test for javascript activated and refuse acces if it's not. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
