Smart Inquiries

Smart Inquiries are a method of improving processing efficiency.

The InfoSphere® MDM implementation only uses part of its data model, while the rest of the model, related to unused features and tables, is not used.

You can configure your implementation to completely disable parts of the data model related to unused features and tables.

When these parts of the model are disabled, the core product does not issue any database I/O request against unused tables nor does it affect any functionality around the used parts of the model.
