Not to complain, but you've said things like this several times, Buck.
You imply that somehow reorganizing your database will make SQL perform
as well as native I/O.

I contend, and have been showing, that there are standard operations
required for business programming that do not (and probably will never)
work as well in SQL as in native I/O.

If you disagree, I'd love an example of where a different database
design will either:

A. Make a single record FETCH as fast as a CHAIN
-or-
B. Remove the need for single-record access
