[U2] File type 30 (dynamic)

2013-07-09 Thread Scott Zachary
I have very little experience with using dynamic (type 30) files and I'm looking for some pointers in that regard. I have a file that I am considering creating as a dynamic file. The file will be a log file with sequential numeric keys. The record size will normally range from about 200 to 700

Dynamic files work well in most scenarios. We moved most our files to be DYNAMIC and easy to maintain. There could be a difference in speed but I don't believe is a game stopper. RESIZE it when purged to remove unnecessary space. Cheers! HP On Tue, Jul 9, 2013 at 12:15 PM, Scott Zachary

100,000 records, some have 1000. Maybe they should be resized, maybe it's not efficient. All I know is we never do it. -Original Message- From: Scott Zachary szach...@gardensalive.com To: u2-users u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Tue, Jul 9, 2013 9:15 am Subject: [U2] File type 30
