コードの可読性、柔軟性、およびコース外のパフォーマンスの観点から、OpenEdge のそれぞれの長所と短所を見てみましょう。
静的クエリ:
+ readability: convenient `buffer.field` notation
+ performance: higher (supposedly, need comments)
-/+ "global scope" allows to handle all previously used buffers, but could lead
to ambiguousness, so you'll have to clarify it with a table
name (table.field instead of field)
- flexibility: you cannot alternate predicate-expression much,
even IF function is not recommended (can affect performance)
動的クエリ:
+ flexibility: you can build predicate-expression completely runtime
+ flexibility: you can work with each field not specifying its name,
f.e. you can process all fields of certain record in cycle
+ flexibility: are reusable (need comments on this point)
+/- "local scope" allows to use only buffers specified in `SET-BUFFERS` method
- readability: a little more code to write
- performance: slightly slower (not sure)
