Analyzing
your files by opening your files “unstructured”,
i.e., read-only (even SQL-tables).
|
| Determining
the lengths of the data chains by reading
and sampling your files. |
| Determining
the amount of chaos in your files. The
end result is (among others) a simple percentage
which indicates the scan-performance on your files. The
lower this percentage the better the scan-performance
on your files. |
Providing a high performance tool. FAST
can analyze large files (many, many GB’s) in
a few seconds; This is accomplished by opening and
accessing your files in an unstructured format and
providing you with options to take samples (instead
of reading the whole file).

• Enscribe
files
• SQL tables
• Format 1 and Format 2
• 64 bit keys
• Key-sequenced, Relative and Entry-sequenced file types |
Based
upon the information FAST provides you can take
the appropriate actions to reorganize you files,
so you have:
• No unnecessary IO’s
because of too many Index-levels
• Optimal
cache-use because of optimal Block-usage
• Optimal
slack percentages that fit your transaction-profiles
(many updates-few inserts, few updates-many inserts/deletes)
• The
highest achievable scan-performance because of
optimal Data-chaining
