TDBRichview Vs TRichview

Post by poojamulti »

Hi Sergei,

My DB has grown to more than 10k records. Each contains RVF Blob (between 10 to 50 A4 size pages of Text). Now, i need to search text in these blobs. Please advice which will be faster i.e. using TDBRichView or TRichView ?

-Sam

PS : Using TRichView since 2006. Working like a charm. :)

TRichView can be faster, because you can skip formatting (the slowest procedure).
Just call rv.LoadRVFFromStream to load from blob streams.
But you cannot use SearchText function, because it selects the result.
Options:
1) You can write your own procedure to enumerate all items and search text in each text item, see http://www.trichview.com/help/controls_ ... items.html
2) You can save text as RVGetTextRange(rv, 0, RVGetTextLength(rv)) and search in this text.

There is one more idea. When you save RVF document, you can create its plain text copy in another field (using RVGetTextRange)). Then you can use some tool allowing full text search in text fields.
