How application programs process HALDB partitioned databases

Unless their processing is restricted, application programs process the data in partitioned HALDB databases in the same way that they process non-partitioned full-function databases, without regard to the partitions in which the data is stored.

Application programs that process data sequentially proceed across the partitions in a HALDB database in partition selection order. Application programs that process data randomly access the partitions in a HALDB database randomly as well. Application programs and the PCBs they use to access HALDB databases are not required to account for the partitions in the HALDB database that they access.

Note: The BMP application can have an unlimited number of databases and HALDB partitions without committing the changes.
