Re: AW: Physical Files with numeric dates?

Hi Vern,

"could be very fast - no calcs" sounds odd to me. Are date calculations really slower than disk access?

One of the vendor reporting products I looked at has a table of dates in many formats - you specify a range of dates that you want in the table - 10 years would be only about 36500 records - maybe there were logicals over each format-type column - I didn't dig into it that much. But that could be very fast - no calcs - have something that manages whether to add more years periodically.
