You can have multiple indexes which are updated each time you add,
update or delete a record. With a page size of 1K you can have 32 index
segments. You can have a max of 128 index segments when you use a page
size of 4 or more. An index is made up of one or more segments. For
instance the first index could be made up of 1 segment - the Account
Number. Index Two could be made up of two segments, the Last Name and
the First Name.
So far I have been making little programs to maintain various lookup
tables. Soon I'll put them all together to make the main patient record
program and then I will start using it in multi-user mode.
I am very impressed with the speed of Tsunami and the way Euman has
written the wrapper.
