Re: [U2] Universe web connectivity
We let Apache (inearlier days Netscape web server) use the CGI-interface to call a tiny ksh that calls universe with the POST-ed form in raw format - works with GET too, today. There a relatively small basic routine parses it and places the info in named common. One always present form field tells it what routine to call. All output is collected in a string that is returned to the ksh and apache, and there it is. Has worked flawlessly for over 10 years. And of course there is a fair number of helper functions e.g. make the html for an input field from the info in the uv dictionary with some options. Why our own? AFAIK there wasn't anything usefull out there in1998 when we started programming seriously. Maybe there was but AFAIKThen there wasn't. Drawbacks?

Re: [U2] call mysub vs. call @mysub
The catalog is quite different in univers vs unidata. As for universe you need to place the cataloged routine in shared memory to get better speed. Then there's no need to read it from disk - not even at the initial call. Also all users share one copy of it thus saving memory - if that's worth anything given todays memory sizes. Global and 'normal' cataloging both places the routines in the same ../uc/catdir driectory to be read when needed, globals as *routine mormal ones as *account*routine. As opposed to local cataloging that only makes a VOC entry to the file where the routine resides. ( You may also use $ instead of (the first only?) * ) In unidata ( I think) global cataloging places the routine in shared memory and thus will be faster on first call. -- mats Ross Ferris skrev: Does this hold true across U2?

If you don't know what the data size will be, my admittedly subjective formula would be to divide the anticipated number of records by 10 go with a number in that range, assuming no other issues (like the # of id's is going to be 40 Billion it's a 32-bit file). In this case, you'd end up with an oversized file (MIN MOD around 72K) , but you can always adjust that if it's a problem. I don't mind oversizing nearly as much as undersizing.

relational database theory has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING whatsoever to do

And You hit my hobbyhorse or rather one of them :-) ...
RDMS theory is absolutely not pure maths!
In pure maths a relation is the set of tuples (ordered lists of n
elements {e1,e2,e3...en }
where the first element e1 belongs to a set S1 and e2 to set S2 etc.
and there are no limitations on the nature of theses sets.
Not even that the elements must be atomic - in contrary they may be sets
themselves
or lists ( like our multivalues ) or even relations ( like our
associations ).
Pure maths doesn't limit the nature of the defining sets at all -
a set consisiting of my car, the north pole,the number pi and the set of
all real numbers is valid.
Thats a long way from rdbms integers,date, fixed length strings etc..
.
The explicit goal of Codds rules ( at least in the paper where I read them)
is to limit this to something that is possible to handle on
computer hardware (of the 70-ies!?) as well as allowing a relative
easy formulation of select criteria,
constraints etc.
From an u2 or pick view Codd choose to include unecessary contraints on
relations
for the RDBMS,
But that doesnt make it more or less mathematical than the pick model..
In my maths class we only had this definiton of an relation and then
emediately
went on to study relations where the all the attributes where real
numbers so the
general defintion may be to much even for mathematicians to cope with

I was told UV starts at the beginning each time because the position of each attribute mark is only determined by the field's contents. That's true but since release 7 or thereabout uv maintains a pointer to the attribute last accessed in each array so don't expect large differences. But if you change ARRI to ARR1,I you'll see a substantial gain by using remove - as there are no pointers to last accesssed subvalues. And AFAIK ud don't have these pointers so it's a good idea to keep to remove.

One reason for why the upper case only thing started that has been mentioned in this thread is that some early terminals didn't have lower case.

I've only used two such machines the IBM 7044 and CDC 6600 but before the IBM360 arrived in the mid 60's it was the general rule for mainframes to have 6bit chars. ( There were exceptions.

The rest of the _HOLD_ key is a sequential number, which is stored in the Dictionary of _HOLD_. The next step is to have a separate program that checks the _HOLD_ file every five minutes and takes some action, based on the filename. e.g., if it starts with FRED, do this. If it starts with BARNEY, do something else. Some other things that I tried, which did not work on Unidata, but may work on Universe: 1) Put a trigger on the _HOLD_ file.

Re: [U2] [UV] FIND vs LOCATE- speed?
Never checked but FIND and LOCATE could be the same subroutine. Lookup in a sorted string is definitely faster - with randomly distributed search strings the expected number of comparisons are halfed. If the strings to lookup tend to be early in the sort order the performance is even better. But You need a good number of searches to pay for the time used to sort. -- mats Barry Brevik wrote: When using FIND or LOCATE on a dynamic array, is one faster than the other, and is there any reason to sort the array to (hopefully) improve the speed of FIND or LOCATE?

Re: [U2] CLEARINPUT - Universe

Maybe it was a suggestion from the group way back when. We are working on a program that pops up error messages. I want to be sure that the users see this message. What happens a lot, is that our 'speed typers' are about 10 strokes ahead of the program. A lot of what they do is redundant and they arent always in the habit of paying attention to what is on the screen. So, I asked the programmer working on this to put a CLEARINPUT before the pop up messages. This way, the error message will have a better chance of being seen. I have used CLEARINPUT in the past and this statement is in a handful of existing programs. The programmer said she had never heard of this and when she looked in the manual and HELP BASIC CLEARINPUT. She didn't find anything. So, now Im wondering - how did I find out about this ? I looked in an old (real printed and bound) BASIC manual and I didn't find it. I looked in the PDF BASIC manual and I didn't find it. Actually, it is in the reserved word list. I would assume this is still a valid command - it does compile. Can anyone enlighten me ? My concern is that this could be an old command that was replaced by something new ?

This would imply that not only would the run-time engine have to maintain a pointer to the last cell referenced, but also it would have to maintain a register telling it the cell number of this cell (not just its offset). So it needs two variables. I've never heard that it actually uses two variables to accomplish this. Perhaps someone in the internals could answer that question. So again, it would need one variable to tell it the offset (example: my last reference ended at character 96 of the string ... or position 2345 of the frame, or something of that sort); AND another variable to tell it the cell number (example: my last reference was to cell number 4).

I don't know any details of the implemetnation but it is possible that the last access pointer could occassionally be used to search backwards when some rule of tumb says it would be faster - thus making the 'new' approach even better.
