Re: C vs C++

It occurs to me that there may be one way of using “SQL” - or at least the underlying microcode functions - without changing all the logic. Just change the program to read a logical that converts the packed values to a more efficient format. If there are no decimals then binary is an option, otherwise float or Zoned. No idea how much difference it would make but it might be worth a try since the logical is quick and easy to build.

With so few specifics of the scenario, the following may be way off the

Perhaps the /calculations with packed decimal/ over data that is
apparently /record data/ of /some tables/ could be performed by the SQL?

Chuck,

As I wrote, I have a working functionality written on C. It works fine and fast.
Definitely C++ plus SQL will not be faster as there is a significant
amount of optimization in the current code.
SQL would do nothing more but introduce another language.
For the same price I could (in theory) consolidate all packed decimal
calculations in one module, compile it with C compiler and then bind
together with C++ main. But in my particular case it has absolutely no
sense :-)
