Dave: Thanks for pointing this out. It happened to me because I have a habit of grabbing the first example out of the UniVerse Reference Manual. I just marked up my copy.
Upon seeing this post, perhaps Wally or someone at Rocket will take an action item to tweak the next release of the UniVerse (and UniData) User Reference manual.... changing it from say 2 1 1 to 2 11 1. --Bill -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David A Barrett Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 3:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] UniVerse Slow - Fixed Bill, >File MESSAGES Type= 2 Modulo= 1 Sep= 1 Coming across one of these in a system I'm working on always steams me. It has to be one of silliest and most easily avoidable time-bombs people can set in a system. The difference between a modulo 11 and a modulo 1 file on performance is astronomical, and the disc cost of just making sure that every file - even one you're absolutely positive will never have more that a couple of records in - has at least an 11 or a 101 modulo is totally negligible.
