John, you can create one generic routine that can execute any BCI query. I could probably dig one out given a bit of notice (next week, when I get home from Japan). Call is something like: RESULT = BCI(DSN, USERID, PASSWORD, SQLQUERY) --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To

If, on the other hand, your U2 system and processes make up much more than 1% of your business IT, which can easily be imagined because SQL and OO infrastructure is bloated beyond belief, then realize you can pretty much do anything with MV. It is a far, far, far better platform for transaction

I have always preferred dynamic files. In the long run, they are easier to deal with. You should still determine the best block size. Also, if you are going to bulk load it, you should set the min mod so that it does not start splitting right off the bat. You still want the basic size to be

Note that if the array is big, you would get much better performance by loading it into a DIM array, so the sort of sort below, then put the results back into a dynamic array. Dynamic arrays are much easier to use, but when used wisely, dimensioned arrays can be MUCH faster. This is true for

We use dynamic files no problem - yes I suppose in certain circumstances there is an overhead, but it would still be faster than a badly sized static file. The conclusion we have is if you are really on top of your file sizes and administrating things daily there is probably less need for dynamic
