Index build order

#Caché #Indexing

Is there any way to specify in which order indices are built during:

  • %BuildIndices
  • %Save

So far I think they are built by name order.

For %BuildIndices you may provide a list  or use default. it doesn't affect sequence

example from Sample.Person.1.Int

%BuildIndices(pIndexList="",pAutoPurge=1,pLockFlag=0,pJournalFlag=1,pStartID="",pEndID="",pIgnoreIndexList="") public {
if ($listlength(pIndexList)=1)&&($listget(pIndexList,1)="") { return 1 }
Set class=$classname(),tBuildFlags=1,tBuildFlags(class)=$c(0,0,0,0,0,0)
Set tPtr=0,tStatus=1,pJournalFlag=''pJournalFlag
While $listnext(pIndexList,tPtr,tIndex) {
continue:tIndex=""
If '$d(^oddCOM(class,"i",tIndex)) {
Set tStatus=$select(+tStatus:$$Error^%apiOBJ(5066,class_"::"_tIndex),1:$$AppendStatus^%occSystem(tStatus,$$Error^%apiOBJ(5066,class_"::"_tIndex)))
}
}
If ('tStatus) RETURN tStatus
if $listfind(pIndexList,"$Person") { set $Extract(tBuildFlags(class),1)=$c(1) }
if ((pIndexList="")||($listfind(pIndexList,"FCOL"))),'$listfind(pIgnoreIndexList,"FCOL") { set $Extract(tBuildFlags(class),2)=$c(1) }
if ((pIndexList="")||($listfind(pIndexList,"NameIDX"))),'$listfind(pIgnoreIndexList,"NameIDX") { set $Extract(tBuildFlags(class),3)=$c(1) }
if ((pIndexList="")||($listfind(pIndexList,"SSNKey"))),'$listfind(pIgnoreIndexList,"SSNKey") { set $Extract(tBuildFlags(class),4)=$c(1) }
if ((pIndexList="")||($listfind(pIndexList,"ZipCode"))),'$listfind(pIgnoreIndexList,"ZipCode") { set $Extract(tBuildFlags(class),5)=$c(1) }
if ((pIndexList="")||($listfind(pIndexList,"dobx"))),'$listfind(pIgnoreIndexList,"dobx") { set $Extract(tBuildFlags(class),6)=$c(1) }
If ((pIndexList="")||($Ascii(tBuildFlags(class),5))) && '$listfind(pIgnoreIndexList,"$Person") { set $extract(tBuildFlags(class),1)=$c($select((pStartID'="")||(pEndID'=""):1,1:2)) }
Quit ..%BuildIndexInternal(.pLockFlag,.pAutoPurge,.pStartID,.pEndID,.pIndexList,.tBuildFlags,"^Sample.PersonD",1,.pJournalFlag,0) }
 
 

%Save does it straight by ASSCII sorting of index names (lower after Upper case)

See %SaveData(id)  in the generated .int
