Internal Structures and Techniques
Scalability
In the above diagram, the independent sub-databases are:
1. M1
2. D1
3. D2 and M2
4. D3 and M3
5. D4 and M3
6. D5, M4 and M5
7. D6, M5 and M6
There are several different scenarios when concurrent modifications can be in progress.
For example:
M1 at all times as there is no dependency.
D1 at all times as there is no dependency.
Other masters M2, M3, M4, M5, and M6 if the depending detail is not being modified.
Other details D2, D3 or D4, and D5 or D6. This is if the dependent master(s) are not
being modified. Note that both D3 and D4, or D5 and D6 cannot be
concurrently modified.
Based on this approach, the throughput is dependent on the number of sub-databases, the
more, the better. The worst case is a database which can be sub-divided into only one
sub-database. For example, one detail linked to 16 masters. The best case is when there
are several stand-alone masters or details.
With this approach, some databases may benefit in throughput and some may not.
Therefore, by default, TurboIMAGE/XL continues to work the way it did in versions prior
to C.07.00.
To use this enhancement, your database must be activated to use the Dependency
Semaphore. To achieve this, use the option, DSEM, with the ENABLE command of DBUTIL.
The default for DSEM is DISABLED.
New syntax:
EN[ABLE] database name [/maint word] FOR DSEM
DI[SABLE] database name [/maint word] FOR DSEM
After enabling your database for DSEM, if you feel that your database cannot benefit by
using this feature, you may DISABLE it.
