│ The HiPer-SIx RDD Demo │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
To use the HiPer-SIx RDD Demo, copy the NSXDEMO.EXE, DBCRE8.EXE, and
RUNDEMO.BAT files files into an empty directory. Change to this directory
and run RUNDEMO.BAT which will demonstrate many of the features that the
HiPer-SIx Index Driver has to offer.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
What is HiPer-SIx?:
The HiPer-SIx Index Driver is a Replaceable Database Driver (RDD) for
CA-Clipper 5.x. As an RDD, it connects to the low-level DBMS sub-system
available in the CA-Clipper 5.x architecture. This means that you can
easily exchange the default database RDD (DBFSIx, DBFCDX, DBFNTX) with
HiPer-SIx and begin to use smaller, faster indexes without re-compiling
(or even having access to the source code).
Let Me Explain...
Actually, each Clipper workarea is actually divided into two segments
which are controlled by 'separate' drivers (the data driver and the index
driver). While The SIx Driver replaces both drivers, HiPer-SIx replaces
only the index driver and uses whatever data driver is available.
One advantage of this separation of the data and index drivers is that you
can mix and match one RDD with another. For example, you can leave the
database and memo file handling to The SIx Driver (or DBFCDX or DBFNTX)
while using HiPer-SIx for all indexing operations.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
What Can HiPer-SIx Do For Me?:
HiPer-SIx addresses many common problems facing CA-Clipper developers, such
as:
■ "My NTX files are getting so huge...I'm running out of disk
space!"
Our NSX indexes are up to 90% smaller than NTX's!
■ "Creating and updating indexes on our huge databases takes way
too long!
Our .NSX indexes are MUCH faster to create and update than NTXs.
■ "I'm already using CA-Clipper's limit of 15 index files for one of
the DBF files, but now the customer wants me to add another one!"
You can put up to 50 index tags in a single .NSX file! Not only
that, but you can also have an UNLIMITED number of .NSX files
open per workarea! (Limited only by available disk space.)
■ "When we run our report queries using SET FILTER, we start the
report and go to lunch. When we get back, it might be finished,
or it might not. Usually, it isn't."
Use HiPer-SIx's SET SCOPE commands or just link in the Mach
SIx query optimizer and watch your SET FILTER fly!
■ And more!
