Subject: SRU/OASIS: Paramerized Query - draft message
Draft message: -------------------------------------- There is a desire among some committee members to incorporate support for Parameterized Query. In Parameterized Query there is a complete query pre-configured on the server complete with all supported predicates, and parameter variables. Clients invoke the query by id and supply a subset of supported parameters. (The server prunes the query to remove predicate for which parameters were not supplied.) A typical PQ request might look like: http ://example.com/search?queryId=123&name=japan Which isn't consistent with SRU/CQL syntax. Alternatively a CQL query could be constructed so the request would look like http ://example.com/search?query=queryId=123&20and&20name=japan That is, an index, 'queryId', would be defined, and there would be rules associated with this index, for example, when a query uses this index, the remainder of the query must be limited to boolean ANDs and predicates where the relation is always '=" and the index corresponds to a parameter defined by the stored query. There has been debate within the committee. Some are comfortable with representing PQ as just another CQL query (with the restrictions stated above) while other members feel that these special case semantics and constraints are indicative of an unstable design for supporting parameterized queries, and would like to see PQ singled out as a special mode of operation. SRU implementor feedback is solicited on this issue.
