Hi,

The attached patch does this:
1. Sanitize the if-else bracket style for the earlier patch.
2. Use 'IS DISTINCT FROM' instead of <> in an exclusion condition.

Two issues remain that I can't resolve:
1. Rightly as you point out thread->IsRunning() needs to be called only if it exists. On rigorous testing the application bombs if this thread is non-existent (backtrace attached). Any good way to check whether a thread is running ? Any flag etc ?
2. The case of selection and deselection of the same field name can (ideally) cause a bit of a complication.
Consider this:

a. M=10 AND M <> 10
b. M = 10 AND (N = 10 OR M <> 10)
If we are to filter out the old test condition replacing it with a new test condition using a string parser how does it understand the difference between case (a) and case (b) ? Unless I am missing the point, I think to effectively resolve this would need a inverted tree structure for the where clause which I think is a bit of an overkill for now ?

Any hints for a better way to work around these ?

Robins

Yes, thats a good point. I look forward to seeing the patch ;-)

cheers, Dave.
