Hi Joe, Perhaps you could share your actual searches, code and database structure? Were you searching 20 million records in a single column table? Multiple "fields (or columns if you insist)" in the Universe database? What is this PICK you keep talking about? Universe doesn't have a component named PICK, there is certainly a flavour. That is your choice to use it, you are not compelled to.
How do we know you are comparing apples with apples? How were your indexes structured? I haven't seen "Universe Standards" for indexing. Please elucidate on this as I am obviously ignorant in this area. Unfortunately your claims are now starting to fluctuate between the fantastic and the ludicrous. How can you expect to be taken seriously when you don't provide a sound basis for your argument? I presume you meant the first database to be Universe? Obviously it must be as it was the fast one 8-) Regards David Logan Database Administrator HP Managed Services 139 Frome Street, Adelaide 5000 Australia +61 8 8408 4273 +61 417 268 665 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Eugene Sent: Tuesday, 30 March 2004 11:17 AM To: U2 Users Discussion List Subject: RE: Modern Universe - was: The lists are closing Charles, Our Customer Information is stored in UV and accessed via PICK. This FILE (as UV ppl call it) contains around 500,000 Records in it. Everything is INDEXED Per UV Standards. Here is simple WILD CARD Search Test.

How do you think I am supposed to believe UV Performs Well.
