The premier indexing tool that unlocks powerful data retrieval from your IMAGE database.
Through superior indexing technology, Bradmark brings all the capabilities of a relational database to the HP 3000. SUPERDEX provides a faster, cost-effective and compatible indexing enhancement package that adds data retrieval speed and flexibility to IMAGE, TurboIMAGE, TurboIMAGE/XL and IMAGE/SQL databases.
Additional benefits place SUPERDEX in a performance category of its own.
IMAGE keys are no longer required to ensure that reports and lookups occur quickly. Now any field in any dataset can be a key. SUPERDEX allows the use of Boolean operators (and, or, not) to eliminate serial reads, dramatically reducing computing time. Interfaces for many common Fourth-Generation Languages are available minimizing the time required to make use of new keys.
With SUPERDEX, TPI indexes are registered into the DBE of the IMAGE/SQL attached database, and provides a needed tool when trying to eliminate parallel scans against your TurboIMAGE data.
Key Benefits

Serial reads are eliminated, while search options are expanded. Now, any field in the dataset can be a key. - SQL SELECT performance...
SQL Optimizer has access to TPI indexes, speeding SQL SELECT performance. - QUERY/3000...
Query can access TurboIMAGE data via INDEXES. Flexible index definitions... Concatenated, byte offset, grouping, supergrouping and keywording provide the right index for the situation. - Multiple retrieval methods...
Sorted sequential, generic and partial key, and SQL-like relational arguments provide the right retrieval for the situation. - Flexible date formats...
MANMAN and PowerHouse dates can be converted into an internal format, allowing ASCII retrievals for dates.
