- } Question #2
- }
- } My next question is about SE. I am very familiar with all the Informix
- } tools available to me when using Online. I am not familiar with SE.
- } In general, are the same or equivalent tools available when using the
- } standard engine (tbcheck)? How about all the sql statements, like
- } $ SET EXPLAIN ON/OFF, and $ ALTER TABLE to change things like lock modes
- } and next extent?
- }
- The standard engine has "bcheck" instead of tbcheck. SE has SET EXPLAIN,
- ALTER TABLE, etc. Some of the commands may be a little different because
- of the nature of SE though. SE doesn't support VARCHAR, TEXT, or BYTE.
- SE doesn't have lock modes or extents. SE logs are handled by a single
- file on the Unix filesystem. Come to think of it... so are the data
- files and system catalogs. You'll see a lot of similarities... you'll also
- see quite a few differences.
