Publishing half-keyed search query to Roxie

[Gayathri_Jayaraman]

In Lab Exercise No.12, we publish results of a half-keyed search query to Roxie.

What is the difference between RETURNing a dataset vs. returning OUTPUT(dataset), as function result, to Roxie?

Hi Gayathri,

RETURNing a DATASET will return all fields and all records of the DATASET unconditionally (unless you apply a filter to the DATASET itself).

OUTPUT is available to give you a little more flexibility, as you can control the format of the output in the second parameter.

So you can return a partial number of fields from the dataset, only the ones that are interesting to you, instead of all them.

HTH,

Bob
