Re: Database Access Path Question

Not quite sure I follow, Chris. If you use the READE method, then the DYNSLT is redundant - actually, I think it would get in the way!

Awh but DYNSLT and the field as the first key would fly.

This is really one of those "it all depends". By using the READE approach you are tackling the requirement through an application program - which means that the same solution has to be "coded" in every program that would require that selection path.

By using the DYNSLT approach, it is being done by the database manager ans all an application (RPG, SQL, Java etc.) has to do is open the file and process it.

As Steve pointed out, the use of DYNSLT can be quiet an overhead depending on the number of row returned.
