Occasionally RESIZE filename * * * is a good thing to do with dynamic files. This re-packs each group, consolidating fragmented free space (from deleted/reduced records) in (at the end of) each group buffer. It may, if you're lucky, also bring some groups out of overflow.
Dynamic files do not, of themselves, re-pack groups in normal operation unless by doing so they would avoid extending the group into overflow. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Doug Chanco" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [U2] static/dynamic file(s) opinions wanted! > Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 18:25:50 -0400 > > > Thanks Kevin but I am still missing something, if dynamic files are well > "dynamic" why would one need to resize them and how would one know what to > resize them to? I am sorry if this is basic stuff but I come from a jBASE > world and have never really used dynamic files. ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
