SPEED UP 100LX DATA BASE SEARCHES 100LX
The 100LX has a more full-featured database program as the basis of a number of its built-in applications. In order to accommodate larger data files, only a few records from the databases are actually in system memory at a time. The rest reside in a disk file. To do a database search, each record must be read in from disk. This causes slower performance.
You can speed things up in 100LX Databases by setting up some SUBSETS (F6) for commonly "grouped" things. This limits the amount of information searched so that searches take less time. (See 17-13 to 17 and Appendix D in the 100LX User's Guide for more on Subsets).
