Traditional Sql (rdbms) doesn't support multi valies. You have to create tables and relationships in sql to handle what a mv database can do in one record. I have seen benchmarks where a mv db out performs oracle and other relational databases simply because you don't have the "cost of joins" in

Hi Dave SQL Server like Oracle, DB2 and other RDBMS are limited to a 2 dimensional table row * Column. There are a number of 3rd party products that attempt to create a multidimensional environment on top particularly for data warehousing but the underlying architecture is 2 dimensional. Jbase

We use both Unidata and SQL. I wanted to see if SQL has the equivalent of multivalues in Unidata. Or how does SQL handle mv's for instance. David Jordan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Do you want something to justify UniData to management or for evaluation for development purposes. Regards David Jord

This is a typical socket address condition that can't be safely overridden by hand. If you look at your net stats, the socket in question is probably in a CLOSE_WAIT state. This is a subsystem status that says the remote has shutdown and it's waiting for the socket to close and cleanup. If the s

Under Universe 9.6, I found that it was much faster to do two selects, the first one with just the index and then the second for the rest of the conditions. The new versions are supposed to optimize for indexing and also for tfile conversions. Roger Kevin King wrote: As I understand it, the q

I agree with Kevin's answer. Also, it may depend on which U2 product/pick-like product you are using. I always try to order the WITH statements so the one selecting the fewest records is first. However, I always place the fields with translates last since I know that translates are much more exp

Generally speaking, you've got it right, John. A few caveats, notes, gotchas: - Use EXPLAIN keyword to get RetrieVe to show you what it is going to do. - If a field is indexed, and no select list is active when the retrieve command starts, the index will be applied before any actual select & da

As I understand it, the query optimizer can shuffle things around as necessary, but the real issue is whether any of the fields are indexed. If the fields are indexed you might get better response by selecting those using an index first, and then subselecting the remaining ones after the initial s
