RE: SFL Load - SQL vs. LF

Michael,

Personally I like to load all the records from a file (physical or
logical - it doesn't really matter) directly into an array, which I can
then sort according to pretty much any criteria and display to the
screen. This works very well if there aren't a huge number of records in
the file.

In fact, for any programs where I'm viewing 'control' data, I always use
this approach. It's only a problem if you're talking about loading up
more than a few thousand records (simply because you'll need to allocate
all that space for the array)...

It's up to you if you want to use SQL or READ to actually load the array
from the file.

Just another option.
