1098.0. "Questions on performance......" by KERNEL::SIMPSONR (fred) Wed Jul 22 1992 11:22

  I have two questions on performance with ALL-IN-1 V3.0: 

    o Firstly I have a customer that has 4300 shared documents. Would it be 
      best to have one document/folder or all documents in one folder or a 
      mixture of the two in order to get the fastest access. If a mixture
      how many documents/folder.

    o Secondly for system and group dictionaries are there any performance
      issues. How does their performance compare to that of personnel 
      dictionaries in regards to adding a new word.....

  Hope you can help,
  Regards,
  Richard Simpson.

       In answer to your first query, you will probably find that you get 
       optimum performance by organising your documents into folders according 
       to what suits the customer rather than paying particular attention to 
       performance. This will apply to both documents in shared drawers as 
       well as private drawers.
    
       Drawers are indexed in the DOCDB by folder name and document number. 
       This means that when a user indexes a drawer by folder only, then the 
       records corresponding to each document are got sequentially whereas if 
       he indexed by title documents in different folders, then he may get 
       records from different parts of the DOCDB leading to more I/Os. If he 
       indexed by author for example he may have to get every record in the 
       DOCDB as author is not a key.
    
       Therefore by logically grouping documents into folders as the user 
       would logically group them they are more likely to be acccessed in the 
       most performant manner.
    
       I can't answer your second question.
