Well, getting close to the time when the 'rubber meets the road'. A couple of questions about dynamic fields.
A/ How much room in the index do 'non used' dynamic fields add per record, any? B/ Is the search done on the dynamic filed name in the schema, or on the name that was matched? C/ Anyone done something like: //schema file// (representative, not actual) *_int1 *_int2 *_int3 *_int4 *_datetime1 *_datetime2 . . Then have fields in the imported data (especially using a DIH importing from a VIEW) that have custom names like: //import source//(representative, not actual) custom_labelA_int1 custom_labelB_int2 custom_labelC_datetime1 custom_labelD_datetime2 Is this how dynamic fields are used? I was thinking of having approximately 1-20 dynamic fields per datatype of interest. D/ If I wanted all text based dynamic fields added to some common field in the index (sorry, bad terminology), how is that done?
