Bjvrn Oh yes - some reasonably recent enhancements in UniData processing of joins makes it worth re-checking any SELECTs with joins against a current version... Regards JayJay --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Bjvrn You should aim for a key structure that avoids "overloading" a single key value with records and at the same time gives you a good hit rate. Typical problem areas (though not yours in this case) are keys of 0 and 1, or with high numbers of null (empty) string entries. If you can post some

Try building an index on the whole filed and using a RANGE selection ... i.e. >= and <= Let us know how it goes - it may do the job. Remember to use no.dups and no.nulls for a bit more pep (pattern matches can't use the index) Regards JayJay -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PR

My experience is with UniVerse but I suspect it would suffer from the same thing. It's likely the problem is the high number of records per customer number. You might try indexing the entire key then doing a select on the customer number portion. Something like this maybe (not sure of the UniDat
