Hi all!
We are massively changing all of our customers' engines from IDS rel. 7.31
(on HP-UX 10.20 platform) or IDS rel. 7.30 (on UnixWare 7.1.1 and LINUX x86)
to IDS2000.
We have verified that in this change there is a real loss of performance
with exaclty the same programs and the same data and, in some case, the
query does not come to any response after several hours of running.
Specificately we have verified very much trouble in handling joins, even
simple, one-part-unique-key related joins.
We have tried the fiew options in onconfig file but we did not succeed in
any way to let the engine do the same as the previous version.

Any hint ? Suggestions ? Experience ?

Thanks a lot in advance
Peter

First and most obvious question:

Did you update statistics after upgrade?

YES!
We currently run UPDATE STATISTICS at leat once a day. With IDS 7.31 it was
a "no option" command, so a LOW one. With IDS 2000 we first try the same and
then grow to HIGH.

Specifically, immediately after the upgrade, we run:
oncheck -cr
and, for every DB in the engine:
oncheck -cD
oncheck -cI
SQL "update statistics high"

Didn't I just say that....? :0)

Did you run the onchecks after your applications had been accessing the
databases? Some testing I did performing an in-place upgrade of a 7.23 database
to 9.20 revealed problems with the indexes after the upgrade. I would run
oncheck -cID against all the databases and they would appear fine, but after our
application had performed some transactions some queries would run forever.
Another oncheck would reveal that the table now had corrupted indexes. Perhaps
moving from 7.31 to 9.x has the same problem. I hope not...

UC2.

Hi Peter,

Try to run UPDATE STATISTICS on the newly migrated data.

Hi Peter,

We have HP-UX 10.20 and upgraded from IDS 7.30 to IDS2000 with the same
problem. I did the UPDATE STATISISTICS as per the other posts but found no
improvement.

However, I did query analysis and found the cost was HUGE. I changed the
query optimizer as follows and performance is now as good, if not better
than 7.30 (hard to tell). OPTCOMPIND 0, DIRECTIVES 1, OPT_GOAL -1.

Go www.iiug.org -> Software and get Art Kagel's utils_ak2
use dostats.ec in there. (You need the Client SDK installed).

It's all coming back to me now, I've really gotta lay off the Diet Coke.
(Aside, I *never* get chicks perving at me when *I* drink a Diet Coke... )-:

Anyway,

UPDATE STATISTICS LOW DROP DISTRIBUTIONS;

Then try your UPDATE STATISTICS again. If that doesn't work, drop and
recreate your indexes.
