Multi Row Fetch Experiences (3)

In previous postings I have described how we have converted all of our READ EACH statements to use multi-row fetch. Also discussed were the results of a test that showed a significant performance improvement for a simple example which only had a single READ EACH statement. These improvements were extreme because a normal application will perform a lot more processing than simply the SQL for the READ statement.

On a real world example for a complex impact analysis, we have found an 18% reduction in elapsed time, which is a significant and worthwhile improvement given the low cost of implementing the changes to the model, especially since we have automated the setting of the multi-row fetch property using VerifIEr.
