RE: When should one use SQL/RPG?

However he did run some tests and found SQL to be faster.

Was that for repeated single record retrieval, small groups, or large sets
of records?

Just to be clear, I am a big fan of embedded SQL for record retrieval.  It
just seems like a lot of overhead to possibly build and prepare a statement
or have the query engine do it's work for a single record.  Maybe I'm
misunderstanding how the system handles embedded SQL though.  Wouldn't be
the first time. :)
