I have an RPG program with embedded SQL that interacts with a DSPF. The
DSPF gives the user a screen where they can filter the data sent to the
DSPF [a subfile]. Because of the amount of filters and logic that this
screen requires for it to be built, I have used a SQL Insert to a QTEMP
table with a small "update" subroutine to add data to three more columns
[after the Insert] before it writes out to the screen, sorting and
filtering as the User requested.

This Insert goes to a QTEMP table. I would like to see the Index Advisor
recommendations for this table to get SQL to run as fast as possible. Is
there a way for the Index Advisor to give results for a QTEMP table? An
alternative to the QTEMP table might be to use a DECLARE GLOBAL TEMPORARY
table. But again, would this be available to Index Advisor?

The reason I have not made this Insert/Filter/Sort routine all SQL is
because if I did that, the SQL statement would span three pages and would
be difficult to maintain. I am trying to break into steps/sections for
easier maintenance, but also value the input from the Index Advisor to
make this screen load as fast as possible. I have already made it a lot
faster than previously, but was wondering if any more indexes would help
it.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Doug
