What’s the difference between NT_FILL_ARRAY_WITH_COLUMN and NT_FILL_ARRAY_WITH_COLUMN_ONLY_UPDATES?

What's the difference between the two notify protocols?

https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/api/NotifyTypes/NT_FILL_ARRAY_WITH_COLUMN.html

https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/api/NotifyTypes/NT_FILL_ARRAY_WITH_COLUMN_ONLY_UPDATES.html

Are they indeed the same?
Does the 'only updates' skip non-existing keys, or will it fail when you provide an non-existing key?
Does the 'only updates' not set a value if the to-be-set value is the same as the value already set?
Is there a difference in performance which could come in handy if you want to use the column(s) update and not add new rows?

Hi,

Like the documentation mentions for NT_FILL_ARRAY_WITH_COLUMN_ONLY_UPDATES (336)

This call behaves in exactly the same way as NT_FILL_ARRAY_WITH_COLUMN (220)

There is no difference between both calls, also not in performance. The 336 was created in the past to have a better performance, but in the meantime the 220 has been improved so much that the 336 became deprecated and was linked instead to execute/call the same code like 220.

Regards,
