RE: SFL Load - SQL vs. LF -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

IBM has changed the data management rules for files created via DDL, which
effective improves DB thruput for all applications using the file.
Performance gains come from where IBM has chosen to implement the data
validation code.  Under DDS rules, data is validated when it is read from
the disk, where DDL moves the validation to DB writes and updates.

The theory is that a typical application will read data much more than it
writes data.  If we validate on write, then we've reduced IO overhead.
