CheckIndex

02-jan-2002

FREEWARE.

 From Olivier Dunemann : One decisive key figure of high response time is the correct use of indexes. The Progress' algorithm that decides which indexes are used and bracketed is relatively unknown by many developers. The way to check indexes usage isn't so easy either (compile program with the XREF keyword, check all SEARCH entries and compare index' structure with the fields used in WHERE clause).
The purpose of this tool is to ease this check by showing in one single screen the FIND or FOR statements and the structure of the used indexes.

The program is called PROGRESS2XLS.exe and can be downloaded for free. The setup manual can be found on the page.
