Re: Indexing file

Just some information on EVI's:

An encoded vector index (EVI) is an index object that is used by the query
optimizer and database engine to provide fast data access in decision
support and query reporting environments. EVIs are a complementary
alternative to existing index objects (binary radix tree structure -
logical file or SQL index) and are a variation on bitmap indexing. Because
of their compact size and relative simplicity, EVIs provide for faster
scans of a table that can also be processed in parallel.

Advantages of EVIs
      Require less storage
      May have better build times
      Provide more accurate statistics to the query optimizer


Disadvantages of EVIs
      Cannot be used in ordering and grouping
      Have limited use in joins
      Some additional maintenance idiosyncrasies

or just STRSQL, then CREATE INDEX, specify GLH, and on the next screen
select LHDREF. Encoded Vector indexes are not usually needed.

cheers,
