That's what puzzled me. The reason was "4 - The cost to use this access 
path, as determined by the optimizer, was higher than the cost associated 
with the chosen access method." (which of course, was to build an access 
path, with an identical key.) The internal join key hypothesis seems 
reasonable.

STRDBMON sounds like something I need to know about. Thanks. We're 
currently at V4R3.
