Dang it, where's my "take back" button? I misread the message.

This will match on DEVICE='*ANY' whether you want it to or not. (Maybe
not a big concern, but...)

I would put the HOST-VARIABLE vs. CONSTANT test first, as I believe
that will be evaluated only one time, and (as per prior messages)
placing it first should avoid a performance hit.

Subject: Conditional SQL processing against host variables


Using something like the following statement, we take a pretty high
performance hit compared to writing multiple cursors for times when
the
user has selected a wildcard (*ANY) as shown below. I suspect that
the
SQL
is actually looking for TUSER='*ANY' even though it will never find
it,
and
its not necessary. Is there a better way to condition this type of
operation? I'm aware of dynamic SQL, but its a bit of a pain for
larger
statements.


/FREE
exec sql declare C1 cursor for
Select TWS
TUSER,
TTDTE
from TFILE
where (TWS = :Device or :Device = '*ANY')
And (TUser = :User or :User = '*ANY')
/END-FREE
