    Make range fragmentation work on high-write systems

    Our application is INCREDIBLY write-heavy with highly transient data. Frankly, it doesn't even belong in Informix at all; it ought to be in something like MongoDB or even an in-memory DB. [I'm not kidding: 75-90K inserts per minute, involving BYTE...

    Sort data calculations should not be used to determine number of passes for UPDATE STATISTICS MEDIUM/HIGH statements where an index is used, fix misleading explain output

    UPDATE STATISTICS MEDIUM/HIGH can be used with an explain option. The explain file always shows a sort data calculation which then determines the number of table scans (passes) the database engine will undertake. These are calculated before any de...

    Avoid UPDATE STATISTICS [LOW] sampling failures due to data skew

    If onconfig parameter USTLOW_SAMPLE is set, sampling will be used for all UPDATE STATISTICS LOW commands. On some tables this will always or nearly always fail due to data skew, printing a message like: Warning: update statistics low using samplin...
