So now that we've built our retailer database and our users can query it based on retailer name, I need a way to very quickly get a value from the returned retailer's 'Retail_Category' field.
The idea here is that of course I can't support every retailer in the database with their specific logo. There's just way too many unique retailers. But every retailer does fall into a specific retail category which is populated for every record. So 'Giant' or 'Kroger' would fall into the 'Supermarket' retail category, 'Home Depot' would fall into the 'Home Improvement & Hardware' category.
So when the user queries the database and the retailer is returned in my addin, I need to very quickly and efficiently get the first value from the 'RetailCategory' field for the returned dataset.
Ideas?
