Hi Jeff If you go to the following link:
http://www14.software.ibm.com/download/data/web/en_US/trialprograms/Z955 364D40826J60.html?S_TACT=104CBW71 and select UniData Clients this will download UniODBC etc. You can use these for all your needs and I don't believe they will expire. Good luck!

My understanding is that I need to get the UniData clients toolkit and, in particular: UniODBC, the UniDK developer's Toolkit, and the Visual Schema Generator. Can anyone confirm this, and how/where I obtain these downloads if I already have a licensed Unidata product (yes, I have serial number, etc). All I've found on the IBM website is trials/demos.

Trying to compare a relational database (such as SQL Server) and a post-relational database (such as UniData) is like trying to compare apples and oranges. Your best bet is to analyze how you are going to use the data, and pick the database that can handle those needs.

Most performance benchmarks are done on the basis of Simple transactions per second. However where U2 realy bolts ahead is in complex transactions per second. In the realworld we have complex transactions, not always the simple Dr,Cr of a general ledger. A transaction will often involve various business rules and accessing multiple files for checks and process tables. With most RDBMS as the complexity increases, the more likely they will have to resort to processing outside of the database which causes a performance hit. With U2, the processing remains inside the database where basic code resides. Hence before doing performance benchmarking, make sure that the benchmarking represents the business process. It is like using a ferrari to delive furniture, it may be fast but it is the wrong vehicle for the job. Regards David Jordan > Is anyone aware of any performance benchmarks for UniData 7.1?

It may be tied to the syncd daemon, depending on how frequently "every few seconds" is. Try fiddling with the maxrandwrt parameter of the ioo command. I've seen this work miracles with intermittent spikes like you're describing. (I've also seen it make no difference at all, depending on the circumstances.) The default behavior of AIX provides improved overall system performance, but sometimes interactive processes suffer. By using the write-behind buffer with maxrandwrt, you even things out and reduce the spiky performance. Anyway, check out the man page for ioo and search for maxrandwrt for more information. This would probably be the easiest thing to try first. If it doesn't provide relief, you may want to play around with filemon, as suggested by somebody else. It will show you the busiest files on the system, but requires tinkering with quite a few command-line parameters to get useful results. Of course, AIX and UniData tuning can be quite complex, and the problems could be due to any number of factors. If no relief is in sight, you may need to get some assistance from somebody with experience with this type of tuning.
