Re: Embedded SQL Performance Issues

Whatever I used came with the system. 
Either in Navigator or STRDBMON.
A google search will bring up some redbooks on performance tuning, that's a place to start.
I believe in was in Navigator where it suggested what views to build.
I just don't remember what I did or how I got there.

You should just have to create the logicals (views) and 
at run time the sql optimizer will use the new view.
You should notice the speed increase the next time you run payments.

I did not make any changes to PL431 but I have recomplied PL431 for another different mod.

I am very anxious to try Hudson's suggestion.

Do I just create these logicals over PLP15?  Do I need to change PL431 to use the new logical?  PL431 currently uses PLP15 in the declare code. 
Will SQL figure out that it has a better access path and start using it?

Thanks everyone!
