[Zope] ZCatalog with OR expression

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

If this helps, ***within a single index***, dtml-in does "lazy
concatenation" which works ok.  Example query:

http://classifieds.uniontrib.com/8000/results?displaymode=browse&getSection=
8572&sort_on=summaryfield&adDate:date=10-13-2001&adDate:date=10-14-2001

In this query, the adDate index is used twice, and 2 catalog queries are
performed by the dtml-in iteration machinery, and concatenated together, and
sorted together by dtml-in...

I think that Casey's CatalogQuery product might give you OR across certain
fields, but I'm not sure if there are any "perfect" solutions.

Subject: [Zope] ZCatalog with OR expression


Hi!

I'm trying to get an OR expression from a catalog:

For example:

<dtml-in "Catalog(meta_type='Image', title='Z*')">

So, this way I'm having objects with meta_type='Image' AND title starting 
with Z.

Now, I need an OR expression:

I need cataloged objects with meta_type='Image' OR with title='Z*'

This can be done adding "two Catalogs:

<dtml-in "Catalog(meta_type='Image')+Catalog(title='Z*')">

But... this way I get some objects two times: the ones filling both 
expressions.

How could this be done better?

Thanks if somebody can help...

Gari

PS: The real case is more complicated, I'm searching dates between 
ranges... but I think that the problem is the basic solution... Thank you.
