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.
I forgot to include this message from the app debug data:
Temporary result file built for query.
7 - The query optimizer chose to use a sort rather than an access path to order the results of the query.
That's why I'm thinking an index for the ORDER BY.

Subject: CURSOR-Table Scan vs Index Scan
SQL Performance Center shows that this query (from embedded SQL) performs a Table Scan (runtime 420ms):
declare POCSR cursor for select PO# , INV , STK , DESCR1 , DESCR2 , DESCR3 from PO where STK like : H or DESCR1 like : H or DESCR2 like : H or DESCR2 like : H order
by INV , PO# desc for read only
I ran the same query in Run SQL Scripts, substituting the same literal for :H. That uses an Index Scan (runtime 95ms).
Run SQL Scripts is using a LF keyed on INV. Debug data for the app shows that LF wasn't selected for this reason:
17 - The left-most key of the access path did not match any fields specified for the selection criteria. Therefore, key row positioning could not be performed, making the cost to use this access path higher than the cost associated with the chosen access method.
I have a standard index over (INV, PO#, x). I'm thinking about creating a new index over only (INV, PO#). Would a standard or EVI index work better?
TIA
