Ahh, yes, my example neglected to point out that the key is to remain
the same...thanks, though, Denys.

Yes.

Seriously, from a timing POV, I don't think it makes much difference.
However, you should consider the possible ramifications of a DBUPDATE
for
all the items if this is a detail dataset.  Keep CIUPDATE in mind.

Hi all,

 

            Given the scenario of 10 items in a data set (each item 6
bytes long), an Image list of all 6 of the set's items was produced to
read the data set, but only one of the items is actually updated in a
given transaction:  Is it faster to produce a new list for Image to use
for the update that would only update the one item in the data set that
actually changed, or is it quicker to just update all of the items in
the set using the "*;" construct?

 

 

TIA,

 

Ray Shahan
