search for a row in rtcdataset

[lionheart]

Is there any tricks or fast search for a row in RtcDataSet ? What i do now is to iterate through rows until found or EOF.

rtcdataset.first
while not rtcdataset.eof do begin
  if rtcdataset.asvalue['id'] = valuetofind then begin
    ...
    ...
    break;
  end;
  rtcdataset.next;
end;

There is no "Find" method on TRtcDataSet. Iterating through the dataset is the only way to find a record based on field values.

PS. Even if there was a "Find" method on TRtcDataSet, it would also have to itterate through all rows in the dataset to find a specific row, since rows aren't indexed for searching. And ... a custom implementation (your own code) written to accomodate your specific needs will usually be faster than a standard "Find" method, so there would be no real benefit (except for not having to write the code yourself) if there was a "Find" method on the TRtcDataSet class.
