Elvis,

Have you any hands on experience in a BPCS shop?

It would seem to me, that some combination of additional EVI and
regular indexes should allow the SQE to perform as fast as the CQE
would have using S/O logicals.

In other words, while a "quick fix" for a BPCS shop would be to set
IGNORE_DERIVED_INDEX= *NO, with a little work a BPCS shop could take
advantage of SQE.

Do you agree/disagree?

This is the only known detractor I have seen to making the switch. CQE can
use keyed S/O LFs and since in BPCS keys queries were written with these S/O
LFs in mind, they're tightly integrated and perform well. SQE cannot use S/O
LFs and even if an equivalent full sql index exists, it won't perform as
well (it'll come close). If you don't build full sql indexes (or non-S/O
keyed LFS) though, CQE will beat the pants off of SQE, since SQE will have
to default to table scans in that case.

That said, IGNORE_DERIVED_INDEX is a default on V6R1 and I have seen many
fantastic results on customers machines. One guy even got a promotion after
he made the switch (no kidding; system performance went up dramatically and
CPU usage dropped dramatically).

Infor recommends the following QAQQINI file setting to
be activated for support with R610:
QAQQINI IGNORE_DERIVED_INDEX  *NO

The BPCS and ERPLX database contains large numbers of
Select/Omit logical files and if this option is not set,
these logical files will be ignored when the SQL Optimzer
selects logical files to run a given query. This can cause
poor performance.

The following command shows how to setup this option...
