Hi Andre It is hard to suggest a best approach without understanding your application. Usually if you are going to lock 250 records at the same time in the same file, you should be considering escalating to locking the File. This is a bigger problem for RDBMS, which is why they prefer

Andre, This seemed very strange, since normally 250 record keys would never hash into the same group of a dynamic file. The exception might be if you created a new part file and then sought to lock and add a large group of records at one time. The new dynamic part file would have a

Andre, I'm with Rick. He suggested new partfile. But maybe some kind of queue or workfile, that routinely gets flushed, merging to modulo 1. And maybe zero length record or very small, so that 250 ids all land in the same group? Is group size 4KB? What does that have to do with the lock table

I would recommend keeping your files static right up to the point that they hit 2 gig. A well sized static file will run faster and have less overhead in my opinion. Also, if you do go the dynamic route, I would recommend resizing them once a year as well. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

Sorry if this is a bit thick, I'm a UV guy rather than a UD guy. But when you said I've tried changing split/merge loads from the default of 60/40 to 20/10 wouldn't that make the file much bigger? I don't know if UD works differently but in UV this would mean a new group was created every

My 2 Cents, Split load, and merge load are set to 60/40 by default for KEYONLY dynamic files. That is to say when 60% of the group is filled with keys, it can split. (Note that actual condition on when the spilt occurs takes more things into consideration). So splitting of groups will create

Jeffrey, For dynamic files with records where the record size is large relative to the key size, I would go with KEYONLY rather than KEYDATA. We have had clients whose files (as KEYDATA) have split repeatedly with large records, so that a file that was 7 gig on Monday would be 19 gig by
