    Adjust startup parameters using promon or _DbParams VST

    Ran into a pickle - added - SQLWidthUpdate ON in on a 11.6 database and having some performance issues. Reading that it should be possible to update the parameter with the database online: Progress Documentation using either promon or _DbParams VST. I'm not seeing option 16 - adjust startup...

    Answered Can (SQL) UPDATE STATISTICS hamper performance of ABL AFTER the fact - NO!

    OE 11.6 / RHEL 5.11 - A little bit nervous to try it. I'm worried about any potential negative side effects on ABL AFTER you run UPDATE STATISTICS. I'm aware it'll use lots of resources while you run it. But we are not 24/7 shop so I can find some down time.

    Creating an open edge rest web service (tools required etc...)

    I would like to access, (guess I should say expose), our OE 11.6 database residing on RHEL 5.11 using, (should probably say through), a rest web service. We don't have Open Edge studio licensed. And before I embark on reading the 390 pg docs It'd be nice to know. The section mentions "tools...

    I'm querying an OE 10.2B database running on RHEL 5.11 over as a linked server odbc. Specifically a on a date range being part of a composite index.

    Cancelled Sql Query Won't Go Away

    I started a query against a sql data server which I later cancelled. It looked like the cancellation was stuck, so I closed the session. Bad move it seems. Even though the session is gone, it looks like the query is still chugging on. And yes, it was a bad query as well. Is there a way to...

    Binary dump and load ok for platform and version migration

    We are planing on migrating OE 10.1B03/AIX 5.3 to OE 11.X/(RHEL /CentOS 6.5). I was under the impression that a text dump and load was required for this operation. But I seem to remember having seen here or elsewhere that's not the case. Does anyone know? Also, if both are possible, which one...
