4 Programming Considerations
Introduction
A great deal can be done toward speeding up SORT operations by following certain programming guidelines. This chapter presents factors which should be considered in program and data base design to optimize sorting speed. Use of some factors will always result in optimum sort speed. Use of other factors may increase or decrease speed, depending on how they are implemented; trial and error will determine the optimum combination for a given application.
