<h1 class="topictitle1">Comparisons with using database files as queues</h1>
<div><p>This describes the differences between using data queues and using
database files.</p>
<ul><li>Data queues have been improved to communicate between active procedures
and programs, not to store large volumes of data or large numbers of entries.
For these purposes, use database files as queues.</li>
<li>Data queues should not be used for long-term storage of data. For this
purpose, you should use database files.</li>
<li>When using data queues, you should include abnormal end routines in your
programs to recover any entries not yet completely processed before the system
is ended.</li>
<li>It is good practice to periodically (such as once a day) delete and recreate
a data queue at a safe point. Performance can be affected if too many entries
exist without being removed. Recreating the data queue periodically will return
the data queue to its optimal size. A more efficient approach may be to use
the auto reclaim feature.</li>
</ul>
