Re: Partial record update - any performance advantage?

Performance isn't the real issue, imho.  Its more about updating & record locks.  If someone else is in there changing f5 through f100 while your user is updating  f1 through f4 then that other user is going to be scratching her/his head as to why update don't work.  And the other way around, too.

Hi,

If I have a table with 100 fields, when updating only 4 fields, is there
any performance advantage of using

update rcdfmt %fields(f1, f2, f3, f4);
vs.
update rcdfmt;

Is the advantage (or absence) documented anywhere (need to show my bosses)

Thanks
Vinay
