Grabbing an db item based on the value in 3.x?
 
%isvalue help file

According to this we should be able to grab a key with a value using %isvalue, however, this doesn't actually work in practice. I remember awhile back being told that trying to grab the position of something in a db variable was the wrong way to go about it anyways, because of something about a hash system it uses or whatever. So I'm genuinely curious if it's even possible to get the associated key to a value anymore if all you have is the value?

Edit:
aka if you use
Code:

<class name="isvalue test" id="176">
  <var name="test_isvalue" type="Record" id="177">
    <value>Name=Zugg|Race=Dwarf|Level=10</value>
    <json>{"Level":10,"Race":"Dwarf","Name":"Zugg"}</json>
  </var>
</class>


#SHOW %item(@test_isvalue, %isvalue(@test_isvalue,"Dwarf"))

You get:
Dwarf

Not:
Race=Dwarf

Edit: Fixed title

Just use the new %dbkey function:
Code:
#SHOW %dbkey(@test_isvalue, %isvalue(@test_isvalue,"Dwarf"))

That will show "Race"

There is no way to get the "Race=Dwarf" value anymore since the data is no longer stored like it used to be. You either get "Race" via %dbkey or "Dwarf" via %db or %item.

I'd actually prefer just getting race. Thanks Zugg, I wasn't sure if there was a function like that, suppose I should have done a bit more research. :-/
