Today I ran a global change process to identify the "ocl7" records in our
database. A screen shot of the result is below. It took the system at least
four or five hours to count these 99,944 records. Note that I did not change
anything. Yet.
So... Should I go ahead and change all "ocl7" into "ocm0"? I'd say "go for
it" since this _is_ the first GMA and we might as well learn what happens
here. On the other hand, we could experiment with something a bit smaller
than 99,944 records... but then we'd have to think of that thing, and I'm
not sure it would be any faster, since the global change utility does seem
to munch through the whole database whether or not it really needs to.
