How to increase performance on database access

1. Select required fields only which you would like to work with,
instaead of all 20 fields,
select requird fields like 4 fields only,
which will increase performance by 50-90%

select sum(qty) from xyz;
select count(recId) from xyz;
select maxof()....
select minof()....

2. do not use while loop with in while loop, instead use join

while select recId from inventTable
join qty from inventTrans
where inventTrans.itemId == inventTable.itemId
{
Mqty += inventTrans.qty;
}

3. Use ForceLiteral - Processor utilised very high
Miscellaneous
Main
Transaction
Worksheet Header
Worksheet Line

while select forceliterals InventTrans order by itemid

ForcePlaceholders .- ForcePlaceholders instructs the kernel not to reveal the actual values used in where
clauses to database server, kernal can reuse plan of another similler statement

while select forcePlaceholders salesLine
join salesTable
where salesTable.SalesId == salesLine.SalesId

FirstFast
It is prioritize fetching the first few rows only

FirstOnly
It select first row only from database depends on whre statement
Select firstonly inventTable
where InventTable.itemId = _ItemId;

Index / Index Hint
To force of use defined index on table, incorrect order of index effect performace

ForceSelectOrder
To forces the database server to access the tables in a join in the given order

while select inventTrans
index hint ItemIdx
where inventTrans.ItemId == 'X'
join inventDim
where inventDim.inventDimId == inventTrans.inventDimId &&
inventDim.inventBatchId == 'Y'

If indexes in a join, do specify forceSelectOrder
while select forceSelectOrder inventTrans
index hint ItemIdx
where inventTrans.ItemId == 'X'
join inventDim
where inventDim.inventDimId == inventTrans.inventDimId &&
inventDim.inventBatchId == 'Y'

ForceNestedLoops
first table is fetched before trying to fetch any records from the second table

while select forceSelectOrder forceNestedLoop
inventTrans
index hint ItemIdx
where inventTrans.ItemId == 'X'
join inventDim
where inventDim.inventDimId == inventTrans.inventDimId &&
inventDim.inventBatchId == 'Y'

Cross Company
If you would like to fetch data of current company with another DataareaId also, use cross Company, below
query return records from all the company

select crossCompany count(recId) from SalesTable;
