Under UniData 6.1 on AIX 5.3, I have an index on our WAREHOUSE file for the Primary Bin Number (PRIM.BIN.NUM, V-type, EXTRACT(@RECORD,1,1,0)). I get different results depending on the order of selection.
LIST.INDEX shows the following: File.................. WAREHOUSE Alternate key length.. 12 Node/Block size....... 2K OV blocks............. 1 (1 in use, 1 overflowed) Indices............... 3 (2 D-type) Index updates......... Enabled, No updates pending Index-Name...... F-type K-type Built Empties Dups In-DICT S/M F-no/VF-expr.... PRIM.VEND.NUM D Txt Yes No Yes Yes S 69 VEND.NUM D Num Yes No Yes Yes M 97 PRIM.BIN.NUM V Txt Yes No Yes Yes S EXTRACT(@RECORD, 1,1,0) This set of statements returns correct results: >SELECT WAREHOUSE WITH PRIM.BIN.NUM <= "139" 551453 records selected to list 0. >SELECT WAREHOUSE WITH PRIM.BIN.NUM >= "131" 123 records selected to list 0. >SORT WAREHOUSE BY PRIM.BIN.NUM BREAK-ON PRIM.BIN.NUM TOTAL ICOUNT DET-SUPP ID-SUPP Primary Bin Count 131 15 132 9 133 19 134 13 135 8 136 9 137 12 138 13 139 25 ===== TOTAL 123 But this set does not: >SELECT WAREHOUSE WITH PRIM.BIN.NUM >= "131" 59131 records selected to list 0. >SELECT WAREHOUSE WITH PRIM.BIN.NUM <= "139" 2114 records selected to list 0. >SORT WAREHOUSE BY PRIM.BIN.NUM BREAK-ON PRIM.BIN.NUM TOTAL ICOUNT DET-SUPP ID-SUPP Primary Bin Count 131 15 132 9 133 19 134 13 135 8 136 9 137 12 138 13 139 25 14 2 15 17 16 32 17 26 18 24 19 15 2 23 20 21 21 25 22 23 23 20 24 20 25 16 26 13 27 15 28 21 29 36 3 35 30 33 31 8 32 5 33 6 34 6 35 23 36 35 4 30 40 12 41 26 42 17 43 13 44 18 45 13 46 7 47 15 48 15 49 14 5 31 50 18 51 10 52 8 53 13 54 18 55 12 56 13 57 9 58 11 59 13 6 28 60 12 61 5 62 8 63 15 64 22 65 4 66 19 67 10 68 12 69 6 7 26 70 21 71 30 72 26 73 12 74 11 75 12 76 16 77 18 78 47 79 37 8 29 80 39 81 38 82 54 83 54 84 61 85 16 86 25 87 41 88 27 89 46 9 28 90 48 91 58 92 45 93 48 94 22 95 15 96 16 97 17 98 16 99 15 ===== TOTAL 2114 2114 records listed Normally, we combine these into a single select, but that doesn't work. Both of these statements return the incorrect (larger) list: >SELECT WAREHOUSE WITH PRIM.BIN.NUM <= "139" AND WITH PRIM.BIN.NUM >= "131" >SELECT WAREHOUSE WITH PRIM.BIN.NUM >= "131" AND WITH PRIM.BIN.NUM <= "139" I thought the index might be corrupt, so I tried rebuilding it, but no luck. Any thoughts on how to correct this? I can't separate the select statements. Please cc: me directly on replies, as I'm on digest.
