Are You calling them indirectly ? I.e. like : subr = "nameOfSubroutine" call @subr( args ) This technique will 'force' the subs 'in memory' whereas call nameOfSubroutine(args) should start a search for the subroutine. How this search is done and especially if it will force a fresh copy I do

Victor, I've just written an article/tutorial on using BCI for Vmark UK's newsletter. As soon as it is published I'll post the link: it has a reasonable set of examples for both UV and UDT, though it doesn't cover calling stored procedures (I was going to keep that for an 'advanced' article). Bri

[U2] Unidata Caching

Can anyone shed insight on how/what Unidata does for caching? In short, I notice that when I perform some SELECTs or programs which read a handful of records, they often run faster after first execution - I'm assuming Unidata is caching. I was working on adding some caching to an application I'

The version of DB and O/S might help? Remember to do your testing in a live like environment. Running a test at night with no one else on the system won't point out any short comings that will become obvious when 30+ users start whacking at it. Always assume the worse. And then add another
