That is what I thought.  I don't think we can implement this for Test Director. 
 In order to add support for Test Director we could only append to an existing 
field (Test Director does not store each comment in a separate row, it's all in 
one block).  Added to this the date format that Test Director uses:

rhudson (Wed Jul 18 17:20:17 2007) : Pre Course 3 Commit


Branch:        trunk
Affected files:
---------------
77972 --> 77974 none:trunk/wqs/ccacherec.cpp
----- snip -------

I don't think there is a sensible search that we can do without parsing all the 
Bugs (Of which there are over 30,000)

Please can we add something along the lines of the following to the 
TestDirector.pm integration_get_vdd function body:

----- snip -------
# VDD is generated using a start and end date.
# Unfortunately Test Director stores all the file history in
# one memo field and stores the date within this text in the
# format:
#   username (Wed Jul 18 17:20:17 2007) :
# This means to generate the VDD information it would be required
# to retrieve every bug, split the file history memo field up into
# commit segments and then parse each segment trying to match the
# date. (Note: the Test Director interface does not have direct
# access to the database)
#
# This will take a very long time even if there were a small number
# of bugs to process, and by the time you start getting into the
# thousands it will be unmanageable.
#
# It is for this reason that VDD has not been implemented for the
# Test Director system.
----- snip -------

I think this will clarify the problems and explain to anyone using the 
interface why it hasn't been supported. (and remind me so I don't investigate 
it again)

Thanks

Rob
