Full Text Search and Dynamic Cursors

Advantage Concepts

By default, Advantage creates dynamic cursors. When one client makes an update to a table, other clients’ cursors (result sets) are updated as appropriate based on the record changes. See Use Dynamic Cursors for more information. When the CONTAINS() scalar function is used, however, Advantage will not dynamically update cursor memberships. The cost of evaluating the conditions on memo and BLOB fields would be prohibitively expensive.
