Some Questions/Hints about DASL SEARCH
1. Wildcard operator
In section 5.15.1 the wildcard for a single char is "_", in the same
section line 150 it is "?". Probably a mistake, which one is correct ?
2. Datatypes
Datatypes can help speedup search and are more userfriendly.
But what happens if there are resources A and B, both have the
same property http://mycompany.com/ns:Myproperty,
but is of datatype "string" "100", the other of datatype "number"
"100" ?
Is this possible ?
What happens if there is a query using operator "less" "20" ? Will
"20" be interpreted as a string or as a number ? (Note: String comparison
differs with number comparison )
What happens when using "orderby" is this case ?
Is it possible to switch the datatype of a property on a given
resource, using PROPPATCH ?
3. What happens if there are a lot of resources, all with a property ABC
with attribute xml:lang=de.
I make a query for property ABC with "orderby". Normaly I expect
ordering in german.
What is the "right" behavior, regarding SEARCH. What happens if a
resource has a different language setting like greek ?
Greetings
