Being new in SAS SQL Indexes, I got confused with understanding of the following options:
When IDXWHERE = option is:
Yes-SAS uses the best available index to process the WHERE
Expression, even if SAS estimates that sequential access is
Faster
NO- SAS process the data sequentially even if SAS estimates that
Processing with an index is better
I just wonder ….what might be hypothetical cases when both cases are applicable?
Could you please give me any example why it might be in need?
Thank you in advance,
Irin
