MultiClassification

Requirements

Solution

Separate Classifications records are used for every classification which is set. No empty records used, a document has as many Classifications records as many classifications are set.

Detail

No problems determined until now. A smarty loop goes through all Classifications records to display them line to line.

New/Update

For every aspects defined in table Aspects at least one line appears even if it is empty. At the right side of all line there is a new button to open additional line for entering classification in the same aspect, and a delete button to remove that classification. If there is no more classification in an aspect (after deleting the last one) an empty line appears.

Searching is a performance issue. Because of all Classifications are different records a large joins could be used to perform searching, which can be very slow. The following optimization steps will be implemented:

  1. determine first the number of Classifications records involved in one aspect value search

  2. perform a nested select with the smallest records set in the inner most level
  3. read DrawingsRevisionsJoinSet with the where clause got from the select above

E.g.: assumed that we are looking for documents with aspect codes 22, 345 and 42, the steps above:

  1. select code, count(*) from Classifications where code in ( 22, 345, 42 ) order by 2;
    `+

  1. select objectId from Classifications where objectTypeId = ... and code

For performance tuning static database table will be used to store some information of classified documents:
