Word-break Tables

Progress uses word-break tables to process 4GL and SQL-89 queries that use the CONTAINS operator of the WHERE option of the record phrase.

The following is an example of a 4GL query that uses CONTAINS:

FOR EACH customer WHERE comments CONTAINS "credit hold":
  DISPLAY name cust-num comments.
END. 

The following is an example of an SQL-89 query that uses CONTAINS:

SELECT name, cust-num, comments
  FROM customer
  WHERE comments CONTAINS "credit hold". 

This chapter focuses on the use of word-break tables in international applications. For a general discussion of word-break tables, see the Progress Programming Handbook .
