Thanks Birgitta,

So there's no point in me taking the LF out of my request.
The PF indexed by the LF has 1 000 000 records at present. There are 6 LF based on it that use omit. The cure would be to stop using DDS, I suppose?

Objet : AW: SQL versus READ for sequential processing

Hi,

Birgitta, are you saying that some of these won't work with
DDS-defined
logicals?

No I said, those enhancements cannot be executed by the CQE and all queries where DDS described logical files are specified will be rerouted to the CQE.

The SQE can also be used with DDS described logical files, as long as you only specify the physical files in your SQL statements and as long as there are no logicals with select/omit clauses built over the physical files you use.
If there are logical files with select/omit clauses the query will be rerouted to the CQE, too.
If you set the IGNORE_DERIVED_INDEX option in a copied QAQQINI file to *YES and use this QAQQINI file in your job with the cl Command CHGQRYA:
CHGQRYA QRYOPTLIB(MYLIB

Now the SQE can be used even if there are logical files with select/omit clauses. But the query optimizer will ignore all access paths stored in these logical files.
In this way you may end up by executing the query with the SQE but instead of using an index a table scan will be performed (because the formerly used access path is now ignored).

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Birgitta Hauser

That's a good question, David. I'm assuming Birgitta is talking about things like ROLLUP and/or full outer joins. Birgitta, are you saying that some of these won't work with DDS-defined logicals? I don't have a problem with the concept, because I am trying to move entirely to DDL, but it's good to know especially for clients with older legacy systems.
