Hi,

we're wondering about the heavy load our maxdb produces.
After some time of investigation we found out that the database produces
a lot of table scans.
Why we are wondering is, that our currently running 7.3.0.46 doesn't produce
table scans, furthermore this version uses the created indices (and MaxDB 
doesn't...).

An "explain" of a test statement shows us a completely different behaviour of
statement execution. The costvalue from MaxDB is 10-times the value from
the 7.3.0.46 :-((

This behaviour is hardware-independant (we tested different cases), and we 
wanted to know if there is a possibility to force MaxDB using indices for 
reducing load.

The explain outputs of our test-statement for both cases are attached.

Perhaps problems with multiple-column indices ???

We want to upgrade our currently running database version, so we need help, 
because this heavy load isn't that funny...

thanks a lot
