Current Limitations

There are a number of limitations to the Micro Focus Database File Handler currently. Some of the limitations may be permanent due to the database technologies in use, and some may just be temporary as the database file handling capabilities are developed.

The following is a list of current limitations:

  • The order in which duplicate keys are returned is not guaranteed for indexed files. For files stored on disk, duplicate keys are always returned in the order they were written in.
  • The supported key types are currently limited to alphanumeric, binary, and numeric.
  • PostgreSQL does not support EBCDIC collating sequences - see Configure Datastores for Db2 for a way to work around this.
