    TPump

    &T

    &T generates a row in AMPUsage for nearly every SQL statement.

    PMPC statement

    any ASE code

    requests generated are not parsed and substituting variables cannot be expanded.

    ARC

    any ASE code

    ARC generates two kinds of requests:

  • SQL type requests that go through the Parser and expand the ASE variables.
  • Direct requests from ARCMAIN to the AMP that bypass the Parser. As a result, substitution variables are not expanded, so the rows in DBC.AMPUsage contain literal ASE codes rather than the expected date, hour, and timestamp values.
