Peter:
I am not sure how I can differ or accept your statement, which is sort of
appealing to me. Let me run this by you. On querying a database, I am
getting a recordset of this form:
2001-10-01 01:00:00 Amy 10 20 normal 555.234
2001-10-01 01:00:00 JoeDoe 15 25 high 623.456
2001-10-01 01:00:00 RexArul 10 20 high 772.265
2001-10-01 02:00:00 Amy 10 20 high 544.345
2001-10-01 02:00:00 JoeDoe 15 25 high 689.52
2001-10-01 02:00:00 RexArul 10 20 high 800.002
As you could see the recordset is sorted by Date-Timestamp first and then by
the user-names second in the database. This is how the recordset is handed
out to my ASP Page. I slash the records into a hash with Date-Timestamp and
user-names being my hash keys (HashOfHashOfArrays):
Like this:
$returnHash->{getDTS($objRS->Fields(0)->{Value})}{$objRS->Fields(1)->{Value}
} =
[$objRS->Fields(2)->{Value},
$objRS->Fields(3)->{Value},$objRS->Fields(4)->{Value},$objRS->Fields(5)->{Va
lue}];
Now as you see the date-timestamp and usernames, both are not going to lose
their already sorted order from the database. Please shed some ideas as to
how this is would be construed as mismodelling.
Thanks in advance,
--Rex
