RE: [U2] UniVerse and/or AIX caching

It's probably AIX that's doing the caching. If it's like linux, there's no way to tell it - it will just aggressively cache everything until it runs out of spare RAM. Question is, why do you want these files in RAM? UV is very fast at retrieving from disk so what's the reason? And it sounds

We have some data transfer processes that take about 9 hours, loading data from our production computer to UniVerse databases used for data analysis. We'd like to speed that up, and have used ramdisk for some improvements, but not enough. Also the time taken to display huge sets of data takes too

I am not sure what you mean when you say ...D3 can only access files 2gig and smaller? Certainly, there is no 2gb limit on D3 files themselves (I have many instances of D3 files with modulos in excess of 1 million). Are you saying that you can't read native OS files from inside D3 when those

Is there a way to do PHP with UniVerse? I just found out that there is a way to do Adobe Flex with PHP. Thus, perhaps it is possible to do Flex - PHP - UV. Suggestions would be appreciated. --Bill --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit

Actually, if you look at the minimum mod of the dynamic files, you'll see that they've grown from, for example, 337 groups to 545,607, so it's likely that they're not empty at all. Splits are a very expensive operation. You can speed these files up a little by oversizing them, but I'd be surprised
