Documentation

Definition

The BDT search tool generates code with selects in the tables involved. Several tables can be grouped into views for this purpose (with the JOIN command in the FROM clause). This can improve performance in the selection. On the other hand, if too many tables are connected with joins, extremely complex database queries will arise that should then be processed using smaller views to improve performance.

We recommend allowing views of a maximum of 3 tables.
