Word Indexing Non-Progress Databases

With the exception of the Progress/400 DataServer, Progress DataServers do not support word indexing. To create a word index on text from a non-Progress database accessed by a DataServer that does not support word indexing, you must write a Progress routine to read records from the non-Progress database and copy the text into a table in a Progress database.

You might define a Progress table with the fields nonprog_primary_key and nonprog_text. Define a word index on nonprog_text, then load text and keys from the non-Progress database into the table. Then, use the word index to find the primary keys for records that contain specific words.

For more information on the Progress/400 DataServer wording indexing, see the Progress/400 Product Guide.
