Definition

QQDSS indicates if a dataspace selection was performed.
Y = Dataspace selection performed
N = No dataspace selection performed

Note

For the conventional database monitor (STRDBMON/ENDDBMON), QQDSS is only available for records with QQRID 3000, 3001, and 3002.

For the memory-based SQL database monitor QQDSS is only available in the detail information tables SQ3000_DB4, SQ3001_DB4 and SQ3002_DB4.

Note

When the optimizer chooses to perform a table scan, this can be done in different ways:
1. Intermediate buffer selection (QDSS = N)
All fields selected are mapped to an internal buffer performing all derived operations. Then all field values are copied to the internal buffer while evaluating the selection criteria. If the selection criteria is fullfilled, the values are copied to the user's answer buffer.
2. Dataspace element selection (QDSS = Y)
Record-by-record access directly in the dataspace - without using an internal buffer - by an internal code to evaluate the the selection criteria.
