Performance impact when working with records

Performance impact of requesting large numbers of records

Requesting a large number of records at once can reduce memory usage in your front-end application if the response is handled by a streaming parser in the front-end application.

Performance impact when displaying attribute values

Displaying too many attribute values can affect performance.

The main purpose of attribute values is to enable navigation through the records. Therefore, the default behavior of the Oracle Endeca Server is to return attribute values on records only when a record query request has been made (not for navigation-type query requests). You can change this behavior. However, requesting the Oracle Endeca Server to return too many attribute values can cause a performance hit.
