RE: Improve SQLRPGLE performance

Sorry for the confusion. The post that I replied to didn't say anything
about an access path. If an access path was needed over the date portion,
I'd probably do that as well. But you couldn't CHAIN to it. You'd have to
SETLL, READ, and compare the date. That may be a bit cumbersome.

Thanks,

Mark

As we discussed (and I learned) recently, a View is not an index and
doens't produce one.  I think Peter was looking for a way to index the
date portion.  I tried creating an index with a columnar function like
so:

create index joellib/teststamp1 on joellib/teststamp ( date(stamp) )

The system wouldn't allow it, so I guess that isn't an option.  Maybe
the best answer is to create an index over the timestamp field and then
convert the date field to a timestamp in the program (or the SQL
statement):

create index joellib/teststamp1 on joellib/teststamp ( stamp )

<psuedo-code>
 /free
    myStamp = %timestamp( myDate );
 /end-free
c/exec sql
c+ select someFields from myFile
c+   where <<someCondition>>
c+   order by myStamp
c/end-exec
</psuedo-code>
