Somewhere in this notesfile, a mention was made of the fact that Oracle's precompilers force the user to compile without optimizer. When mentioning this to a customer, he reacted with surprise, and told me he compiles his Pascal programs (produced by an Oracle V5 precompiler) without the /NOOPTIMIZE qualifier, so he assumes he is using the optimizer. Could someone clarify this issue ? The performance of a non-optimized application could be significantly worse than that of an optimized one, and that could prove a good point in our products' (Rdb, Rally) favor. Thanks in advance, Avi

See 202.2 for more info on Cobol and Oracle syntax. Seems I heard
my customer say once that there are bugs in the Oracle Cobol precomiler
when using /OPTIMIZE. Don't know if the same bugs, if there are
any, exist in the Pascal precompiler.
To verify the customer's understanding of Oracle use, ask him if
he's using PCC or HLI syntax.

| 222.2 | Specific to languages starting with "C"? | SRFSUP::MCCARTHY | Well, it ain't shinola. | Sun Oct 23 1988 02:05 | 2 |
As late as March of this year, the Oracle (*spit*) "C" pre-compiler
required that VAX C programs be compiled /NOOPT
