- After some weeks with the manuals of a newly bought copy of Paradox
- 3.0, as well as the "Paradox 3.5 Handbook" by D.Cobb, I am totally
- baffled on how to do the following:
-
- Application: to match candidate skills with job requirements in
- pre-defined fixed categories.
-
- Schema:
- CANDIDATE JOB#
- CandId# S* JobId# S*
- Skill1 N Skill1 N (all skills are numeric
- Skill2 N Skill2 N ranges, and possibly)
- Skill3 N Skill3 N blank)
-
- Requirement:
-
- Find all candidate/job pairs such that one of the following
- is true:
- 1. skill x are exactly matched on both
- 2. a blank job skill x matches with a non-blank
- candidate skill x
- 3. a blank candidate skill x matches with a non-blank
- job skill x
- 4. if skill x is specifically different and non-zero
- in both, it won't match
-
- Advanced paradox users, please help me. Thanks.
