From what I recall that's mostly true, it depends on the data type. Some are required while others (like String) are not. Unless this is something they've changed in recent versions. :?

Also, you can see from the posted code that when a constraint evaluates to FALSE, the derivations in the link are not... derived.

Wanted to add that I'm not sure I'd want to see anything about the order it evaluates things be made 'dynamic'. For whatever that is worth.

Forgot that this was something I wanted to ask about - "ssi file"? All my searches turn up is a flood of Social Security Income references. Guessing that's not what you meant. :wink:

Well... it blocked it as SPAM which it noted in the reject message. However, I don't believe there is currently an official webmaster and AFAIK the only working email is editor@dsxchange.net as mentioned elsewhere in this forum.

More time than what?

20 million is not that large. Let's start with this. How are you determining which records have been updated? Do you also need to insert new records or are we literally just talking just inserts? Are the columns in your update's where clause indexed?

:idea: Reebs - rather than run around and find 'similar situations' to repeat your questions in old posts, come back here and continue your discussion. Post some answers. Works way more better than way.

We can disagree about what he does or does not point out but if you really want to know, go back to the horse's mouth... ask your official support provider for clarification on your specific situation.

Could be a bug in the client or database itself in that version, ran into odd behavior like that with Oracle every now and then over the years. Have you involved your official support provider yet?

Re: Parameterize the read to pull only delta/incremental dat
