RE: [UD] Union Query

2004-04-30 Thread Gordon Glorfield
In that case, I'm sorry to say, there is no way to logically do what you're
asking with UD.  You could physically do it by creating a temp file and copy
all records from both files to it.  But that would be a great deal of
overhead for a query.

 TCL (or whatever your flavor calls the queery language) is a 
 single file oriented language. No joins.  You would need to 
 create TRANS items in the dictionary of one of the files 
 pointing to the other.  Are the record ID's in both files the 
 same for a given record that you would want to relate?

 I understand how Unibasic could handle a list that has been 
 merged, but how would you do a Uniquery statement?
 
 for example:
 
 SELECT ORDER.FILE WITH DATE  1/1/2004
 SAVE-LIST LIST1
 
 SELECT ORDER.FILE.OTHER WITH DATE  1/1/2004
 SAVE-LIST LIST2
 
 GET-LIST LIST1 TO 1
 GET-LIST LIST2 TO 2
 MERGE.LIST 1 UNION 2
 SAVE-LIST LIST.ALL
 
 GET-LIST LIST.ALL
 
 What do you enter here?
 
 LIST ORDER.FILE NAME ADDRESS CITY STATE ZIP
 
 or
 
 LIST ORDER.FILE.OTHER NAME ADDRESS CITY STATE ZIP
 
 How would a virtual dictionary know which file to get the 
 NAME ADDRESS CITY and STATE from?
 
 Thanks.

 You could use MERGER.LIST to get one list which is a UNION of 
 two separate selects of each file. But you would not know 
 which file the key was from when you were done. But Unibasic 
 or Virtual dictionary items could take the merged list and 
 produce what you are looking for.

 Hello,
 
 Does anyone know of a way to do the equivalent of a UNION 
 query (really a LIST or SORT) on 2 or more different UniData files?
 
 I have 2 files in separate accounts that are structured the 
 same.  I want to do something like:
 
 SORT ORDER.FILE AND ORDER.FILE.OTHER WITH DATE  01/01/2004

 Thanks in advance.

RE: Help on uv syntax, please

2004-04-27 Thread Gordon Glorfield
To do what you are saying I would use the RAISE function.  

NEWARRAY = RAISE(OLDARRAY)

This would change all @SVM to @VM.  Of course you would have to be kind of
careful with it as it would also change all @VM to @AM.

 Hi.
 Anybody got the syntax for universe for changing one string 
 to another in an array?  Mostly I use it for changing a 
 subvalued field into a multivalued one.
 
 In Unidata, for example, its
   NEWARRAY = CHANGE(OLDARRAY,SVM,VM)
 
 I'm looking for a similar function in universe.

 At what point in the life of application software would it be 
 so large that you could not (or would not want to) support it 
 with your existing UniData or UniVerse database?  
 
 Is there a point where you would be better served by DB2 or 
 Oracle, for example due to the scale you are working with?
 
 I hear people talk about moving way from U2 in order to do 
 ODBC and use standard industry tools (and most find that the 
 grass is not greener for those purposes), but I don't hear 
 about switching because of running into scaling issues.  
 However, we sometimes think of PICK as addressing 
 small-to-mid size businesses and RDBMS folks sometimes think 
 of their products as scaling the best.
 
 So, what's the cut-off for U2?  Thanks.  --dawn

Maybe there is a theoretical limit but I've yet to see it reached and don't
really know where it is.  I've been involved with UD/UV systems with

were time constraints for jobs (multi-threading and/or distributed

I wonder what the REAL numbers are - I mean theory is one thing, but how do

actually do use, or WANT to use (I'm talking management want here, not the
gee, if I had my way kind of thing) non-windows platforms on the desktop

[snip]

At this current job we are virtually a total MS shop on the desktop.  That
is to say that we have around 3300 Windows machines and 4 (count 'em 4)
Macs.  The Macs are used by the graphic art department.

The last company I worked for (3 years ago) was an aluminum smelter and was
total MS.  However my previous employer (7 years ago) which was based in
Portland, Oregon had 90% Macs and 10% MS Windows.  The accounting department
had the Windows machines.  Everyone else (about 200 or so) had Macs.  In
fact we did all of our UD/SB+ development on Macs.  My understanding is that
they still have that setup at the headquarters but UD/SB+ was replaced with
a system utilizing Oracle.

One day, I stumbled across an interesting behavior; at TCL, if I type 'L',
it results in my current SELECT list being cleared. You get an error
message, but it does not seem to hurt anything. This is great, because I
hate typing in CLEARSELECT.

But ever since, I've been wondering what it's really doing. Turns out that
'L' is one of only two similar VOC entries, the other being 'LD'. It looks
like this:

0001: V
0002: L
0003: PR

The error message you get reads:

  Unable to create new process.  Will try again.
  Create Process failed (2).

This is on NT. IIRC, on unix the message is different. Anybody know what
this is doing, or if it is safe?
