Re: SQL on V4: Index Optimization (Hobbyist question)

Hello Timothy,

Am 24.03.2021 um 16:58 schrieb Timothy P Clark <timclark@xxxxxxxxxx>:

Db2 for i uses a radix index, for which the root of each key is the first character/byte of the data. As a result, searching the keys in the index requires at least one charater/byte of the search string in order to begin the process of searching the index.

Thanks for the explanation! Saves me from needlessly trying SQL created files.

:wq! PoC
