Re: Access & Scaling

Don, this isn't quite clear to me.  The data in both instances resides on the 
AS/400?  In fact is the same data? You have an interactive SQL product that 
interctively reads a record at a time, is that right?  (btw, is SQL a product 
or is it a technique?) Access is just reading and displaying records in arrival 
order?  In other words, is one method chunking blocks and the other processing 
random records?
