The threaded sort this speaks of (tsort) was originally introduced into 
UniVerse for DG systems back in the day. Not sure, but I believe VMark had DG 
do the actual development for affinity. However, for 10.1, U2 development 
looked at areas where they could improve UniVerse that would also fit within 
the scope of the development they were doing at the time. UVTSORT was one such 
enhancement.

After looking at operating systems where the function calls were supported, U2 
development implemented this for those specific platforms. For those not 
supporting this feature, this parameter has no effect. Most of your latest and 
greatest platforms would have this feature enabled, though I believe it was not 
enabled for SCO (10.1 supported does not support OpenServer 6.0, which in of 
itself probably does support the ability).

If memory serves, this parameter has the capability of creating up to 20 tsort 
processes for a single SSELECT or SORT operation.

Subject: [U2] UVTSORT config parameter

UV 10.1 introduced a new configuration parameter.
Admin manual says:

UVTSORT  The value of this parameter can be either 1 or 0.
         A value of 1 enables multithreaded sort.
         A value of 0 disables multithreaded sort.


I don't see any further discussion of it than that.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom?
