Re: Index Selection

What's the data look like between A & B?

Same total number of rows?

Same number of rows returned?

Recall that the system will basically always use arrival sequence if it
thinks more than xx% of the total will be returned... xx% is a relatively
low number, though I can't find it right now. I'm pretty sure it's less
than 30..actually 10% sticks in my head..

You might also check that the QAQQINI file in effect for the query is the
same on both systems.

But I'd be willing to bet the answer is "the cost to use this index was

to

high" or whatever the exact wording is.

Unless the systems are configured exactly the same, the query is running
over the exact same data _AND_ the systems are running the exact same
workload at the time the query is done, there's no reason to assume the

SQE

would chose to use the exact same method.

Is the performance of system b significantly poorer?

Ok...two systems, both on 7.1. Execute STRDBG UPDPROD(*YES). Run a

on system A. Job log shows an index was used for bit map processing.

Run

the same program on system B. Same index in place (though different
libraries). System B job log says arrival sequence was used. How can I
figure out why the index is used on one system and not the other?

Thanks!
