RE: [U2] UD: Indexes
Bill; We haven't had trouble since an early version of version 6 had an overly optimized version of udtsort. Are any of those subroutines returning data from a remote file? UniData doesn't have a link to the remote file to know when it's updated so the index won't be updated. Are they supposed to be multivalued? hth Colin Alfke Calgary Canada From: wphaskett As a follow up, here's an index that was corrupted earlier: 2 Dev (0)- LIST-INDEX ARTMASTER Alternate Key Index Details for File ARTMASTER Page 1 File..

The next data is the name (built by the subroutine T.LFM from an address book) followed by the 2nd part of the key. It doesn't matter if the address book data (the secondary file) is changed because if it is then a flag is set and the ARTMASTER file (the primary file) is reindexed upon the next login by anyone.

RE: {Blocked Content} RE: [U2] UD indexes and UniQuery - redux
Colin:
None of our indexes work with UniQuery. Most of our indexes, like yours, were
designed on D3 and, thus, are multi-key, so to speak. The interesting point is
none
of our four new installations of UD (and our converted software and data) works
with
UniQuery against indexes.
The indexes work correctly in BASIC so I know the index is built properly (I've
deleted and rebuilt the index, made sure the X_GLPOST file was gone (it was),
several times).
I'm thinking it could be with the UDT.OPTIONS. I've contacted IBM on this and
after
some false starts I finally got to someone who tested this out. They couldn't
reproduce the errors so they called me. After further review I indicated I
suspected, since all of our installations were having this problem,
UDT.OPTIONS. I
gave IBM the UDT.OPTIONS I set and when they set them they were able to
reproduce the
same problem. I've discovered the issue surfaces when setting UDT.OPTIONS 69
ON and
SORT.TYPE to a non-zero value. If I set UDT.OPTIONS 69 OFF, then I can keep
SORT.TYPE to a non-zero value (I use 2).
So, it seems UniQuery really doesn't use the indexes when UDT.OPTIONS 69 ON and
SORT.TYPE is non-zero. We should figure out some kind of resolution.
Thanks,
Bill

Bill;
We use them all the time. They make a huge difference (especially on the
older, slower systems).
I don't know about the exact alternate key thing. I use the below format and
it works things come back quickly. It's the other way that doesn't work
(SELECT NAMES WITH INDEX_1 = [JOHN).
It does take longer if there is a large data set to return.
I just tried it on both UD 6.0.12 and 7.1.5PE.
Problems I've seen with an index:
1. early 5 version had a bad udtsort.exe and the index was not built properly
2. file being actively updated when the index was built
3. index was created but not actually built.
4. bad characters in the data (not so much a problem with the index)
Deleting the index (making sure the x_ file is gone in the OS) and recreate
and rebuild has always solved the problems. Note that we don't usually do
text searches like this. We generally use the index for client numbers,
timekeepers, fiscal period, invoice etc. Our application started on Pick
before they had indexes so we have our own cross-reference file for text
searches. We also don't have *really* large files. 99% are under the 2GB
threshold and only a handful of clients have anything larger. I think the
largest is around 4-5GB and I use the index on it all the time - really fast.
Sorry this wasn't much help.

I've been having problems getting UniQuery to use defined (and built) indexes
in UniData. IBM has informed me that UniQuery does not use indexes unless the
exact alternate key is used. e.g.
:SELECT NAMES WITH INDEX_1 = JOHNS]
or
:select NAMES WITH INDEX_1 LIKE JOHNS...
...does not use the index. IBM says using:
:SELECT NAMES WITH INDEX_1 = JOHNSON, RON
...will work. However, this doesn't work on my system (UD v7.1.9). All of my
index testing works fine in UniVerse, i.e. Retrieve selections use the defined
indexes and returns all selects immediately.
Does UniQuery use indexes in UniData?
Thanks,
Bill
