Honestly, since I only works with data coming from an MS-SQL database ... I've never really used the scattered indexing since all of my calculation are just a variation of selected rows, selected columns and selected rows by columns. :)
It would be interesting to find a use for it in the manufacturing industry. :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sherlock, Ric Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 6:50 PM To: Programming forum Subject: RE: [Jprogramming] selection n00bness ---Sherlock, Ric wrote: > For the case of a table (rank-2 array) you don't have to get items from > all the columns specified for every row.

Just to be clear, scattered indexing works on any rank array, the case of a table is just simpler to explain. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
