[comp.databases] 4D Searching

nd@doc.ic.ac.uk (Naranker Dulay) (02/07/91)

  In multi-user mode, does 4D minimise the amount of data read from the
fileserver in order to perform searches?
  For example when searching on a single (non-indexed, non-related) field, does
4D transfer only the values of that one field?  If not, would indexing the
field make a difference?
