Type

Concept

Purpose

Like a predefined relationship, an ad hoc relationship is a relationship between two sets of records, but an ad hoc relationship is created as a script is processed instead of being specified on the Relationships form during the Form Definition process. An ad hoc relationship lets you easily access records in another table while processing a procedure. However, because the ad hoc relationship isn't stored as a part of the database, it must be redefined in each procedure.

An ad hoc relationship is created by combining a relational (or relational statistical) operator with the name of an unrelated table, or the name of a predefined relationship to which new selection criteria are added.

When you create an ad hoc relationship, the named operator is used to give the set of related records a unique name. This lets DataEase identify each distinct set of records selected from a given table.

Unlike predefined relationships, ad hoc relationships can also include comparisions based on a rage, such as “between Current Date – 60 to Current Date”, as well as fields where the values are not equal.
