Data dictionary editor - versions of the program
Two versions of ddeditor are provided.
The standard version, ddeditor, is recommended for use in most cases. The second version, ddeditor500, is needed for data dictionaries with unusually large numbers of fields or indexes. ddeditor500 uses a great deal more memory, which not only reduces the resources available for other applications, but can cause delays when files are loaded, especially on older systems.
The following table summarises the numbers of fields and indexes each version can handle:
ddeditor |
ddeditor500 |
|
Number of main index fields |
150 |
500 |
Number of secondary indexes |
30 |
50 |
Number of fields in a single secondary index |
30 |
500 |
If an attempt is made to load a data dictionary into ddeditor that is too big for any reason, or to add a field or index that would take the current file over the limit, a prompt is issued explaining the problem and asking whether to load ddeditor500. Any changes are saved and the file is automatically loaded when ddeditor500 initialises.
