Using LIKE statement for filtering
A TTable.Filter
isn't a SQL query. LIKE
isn't supported (neither is IN
). The supported operators are =
, <>
, >
, <
, >=
, '<=,
AND,
NOTand
OR`, according to the documentation
For more complicated filtering, use the TDataSet.OnFilterRecord event:
procedure TForm1.Table1FilterRecord(Dataset: TDataset; var Accept: Boolean);
begin
// Don't remember if D7 supports DataSet[FieldName] syntax; if not,
// use DataSet.FieldByName instead, or a persistent field.
Accept := Pos(Edit_Search.Text, DataSet[SearchField].AsString) > 0;
end;
Table.Filtered := False;
Table.Filter := Field_Search + ' LIKE ' + QuotedStr('*' + Edit_Search.Text + '*');
Table.Filtered := True;
you should use this :
DataModule.Table.Filtered := False;
DataModule.Table.Filter := 'Field_Name' + ' LIKE ' + QuotedStr(Edt_SearchByCode.Text +'%');
DataModule.Table.Filtered := True;
and will work like a Magic and no use of TQuery any more .... and if you want Matching does not take case-sensitivity into account. you should use this code instead:
DataModule.Table.Filtered := False;
DataModule.Table.FilterOptions := [foCaseInsensitive];
DataModule.Table.Filter := 'Field_Name' + ' LIKE ' + QuotedStr(Edt_SearchByCode.Text +'%');
DataModule.Table.Filtered := True;
