Re: Big reason to avoid SYSDUMMY1

The first syntax makes more sense to me. Glad to hear it performs better

Actually the second syntax seems so contrived; it's awful to read.

Just read this blog on why you should use the VALUES statement instead of

SELECT CURRENT TIMESTAMP INTO :hv1 FROM sysibm.sysdummy1
