[U2] Monthly Multivalue Inserts and Speed

2012-06-01 Thread Dave Laansma
I have a file that is taking a very long time to update, seemingly longer and longer each month. Here is briefly how the attributes are organized, a relatively simple example: Attribute 1 is multivalued with our G/L Period, i.e. 12-01 vm 12-02 vm 12-03 etc. Attributes 2 through 30 are

3k isn't large. #1 thing to look at is file size. Change the file-type to dynamic. It will not give the best performance compared to monitoring file size of a static file type, but over the long-term, avoids sizing issues that are the #1 reason for bad performance. Can you perform an

You are probably better off sizing the file correctly, or sizing it to the size it will be at the end of the year, than trying to do what you are proposing. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Dave

All numbers are stored in Pick datafiles as strings. There is no vendor, never has been, who has stored the numbers in datafiles as anything other than numeric strings. Now if you were talking about the runtime engine and how it stores variables that's another fish. I would like to think

Oh PS on your other point, doing all the inserts at once isn't going to make any difference. Each time you change the length of ANY attribute in a record, the system picks up the entire record, and rewrites it again at the end of its group. Thus shifting everything else in the group forward.

I use xml for a few of our fancier reports. My technique is to built the Excel file the way I want it, save it as xls, then pick it apart. Again, it is a lot of work, but they are beautiful. Multiple worksheets, colors, formulas, pane freezing, etc. This might be the brute force method, but

No idea about the scale but I use a small, generic serial to USB adaptor with my laptop for a GPS device that has a serial interface . If I remember correctly it cost about 20 bucks. So you could use one of those as a last resort. The serial software works with it perfectly. Stuart.
