Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: SyncSort - Unix - Datawarehousing.
Rajarm;
This won't answer your direct question but it may give you a little
insight.
The short version is that the syncsort sort routines replace those normally used by the engire.
I have used syncsort on the mainframes running VM and MVS and find them to be a VERY GOOD sort routine. We used then in all of our COBOL progams to do sorts versus letting DB2 do them for us. I do not know how their sort routines work ... but they work very efficiently.

Hi,
I want some informarmation about SyncSort for Unix. If anyone is using sincsort under unix - I need the following details: 1. What is the basic purpose of syncsort? ( I have gone thru www.syncsort.com - So, I dont want this answer). 2. How is sync sort used in data loads or data warehousing? Is there any documentation online? Any whitepapers?
TIA,
Rajaram
