Re: convert dds to ddl

My understanding was that I needed DDS Logicals to get the same format level id.
It appears that with 6.1 that isn't the case, in that DDL (SQL) defined files will have the same format id as the DDS physicals and logicals.

I have tested the "GENDDL" tool, and have proven that it will generate the SQL that matches the fmt ID of the DDS files. So this means that I don't have to create logical files out of my old physicals.

I will create new SQL indexes prior to re-creating my old logicals.

Were you thinking about recreating your logicals in DDS, but first create indexes? I do not see a reason to use DDS to recreate your logicals.

Some indexes you may not have but which may come in handy ...
If you have select/omit logicals (which you can do just fine in DDS on 6.1) like this
CREATE INDEX ROB/gqcyl1
ON ROB/GQCY (MUVALUE) WHERE RECID='A'
Then you may also want an index like this first
CREATE INDEX ROB/gqcyl2
ON ROB/GQCY (recid, MUVALUE)
I think this will help performance of queries over the base table which do something like
SELECT ...
FROM GQCY
WHERE RECID='A'...
And I think you want those created first.
