Re: Need advice on how to index UNIONed tables

The system is currently on V5.4. Moving to v7.2 mid July but I need this to
work now.

I see the indexes are being rebuilt for every inquiry.

Is there a setting to tell the system to reuse the same indexes for the
job. I thought it was set in the QQAINI??? file.

If or which index is used is determined at runtime.
It there are no where conditions, i.e. if the complete table is read,
there is no need to use an index, i.e. it makes no sense to use an index in
this situation.
That is why no index is used and why you are not getting an index advice.

You may read the indexing and statistics strategy white paper from Mike
Cain and Kent Miligan to understand how indexes are used and to find your
own indexing strategy

I ran it through VE and it did not suggest anything.

There are indexes over the individual tables.

I tried using the index adviser, but it did not provide any help.
Run and explain gave no recommendations.

Trying UNION ALL

Where do I add the indexes.? I tried in the SELECT statements but
they gave an error.

Thanks

Do you need the rows to be checked for duplicates and remove

If not replace UNION with UNION ALL.

Additionally you need indexes for both tables, depending on
(additional)
WHERE Conditions.

Subject: Need advice on how to index UNIONed tables

I have a need to create UNIONed tables into a VIEW to give me
access
to
data
in both libraries from a single SELECT.

The UNION is working but the response is very slow.

I created the unions very simply example:

Select * from lib1/file_a
UNION
Select * from Lib2/File_a

I will experiment adding the order by in the SELECT.

What is the best practice?

TIA
