RE: SQL Cursor Questions(and query 400)

I may be wrong, but I seem to recollect hat Query will never use existing
access path - unless you point it directly to LF.

Does this apply to Query400?  I know I've improved the batch performance of
queries dramatically by pointing them at an existing logical file when they
built an access path when pointed at an unkeyed physical.
