Re: [rules-users] Performance effect due to "eval"?

A simplified explanation is this: An eval() contains a general Boolean expression; it is, in general, not possible to re-engineer one or more Contraints from it. A Constraint relates a fact field to another value. Here, indexing techniques can be applied, which greatly improve the Rete algorithm. Also, certain factoring steps (contraction of repeated Constraints from different left hand sides) are possible with several Constraint forms. Rete - even without indexing - is still better than "naive" or "brute force" searches. -W On 18 October 2010 08:47, sumatheja <sumatheja(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > Hi All, >        Is it true that the performance of RETE algorithm gets > affected if we use "eval" function in the rules conditions? > Can anyone explain if this is true. > > -- > cheers > _______________________________________________ > rules-users mailing list > rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users > _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
