[comp.databases] Determining which key to use in C-ISAM

doug@ridley.coyote.trw.com (Doug Rudoff) (07/20/90)

I'm using Informix's C-ISAM. When a table has multiple keys and you
want to do a read, is there an easy alogorithm you can use to
determine which key to choose from? This is for a library routine that
will determine the best key from the given search criteria?
