Re: What's better: one lage .4gi or lots of little one's ?
>>>>>>>>>> Perry's response to Hans Karl Winter <<<<<<<<<< Only use p-code for dev. environment because it has a good debugger. For production env. use the compiled version of 4GL. Once .4gi files get past a certain size, approx. 1meg, it starts taking a really long time to load. Even on an HP-9000 machine. For example, we have the following .4gi and it takes approximately 20 seconds to load. It is closer to 2meg, but the point where the loading really starts to slow down I believe we found to be around the 1meg mark. This is generally ok in the dev. environment, but user usually want to see a better load time than 20 seconds. -rw-rw-r-- 1 clintonc dev 1715771 Nov 22 10:01 i_ordent.4gi > From: hans@i2.com.br (Hans Karl Winter) > Subject: What's better: one lage .4gi or lots of little one's ? > Date: Wed, 22 Nov 1995 15:02:44 GMT > To: informix-list@rmy.emory.edu > > Hi, > > I'm working in a big PCP program using: a Risk based HP , informix > OnLine and Informix 4GL.
