RE: SQL query optimization

Ok Darren,

here is the actual select statement that is being declared.

'SELECT QCCAT, QCCACT FROM QACAT00   ORDER BY QCCAT '

here is part of the joblog when i run it through debug
 Embedded SELECT completed.
 PREPARE of statement #SEL completed.
 Unable to retrieve query options file.
 All access paths were considered for file QACAT00.
 Arrival sequence access was used for file QACAT00.
 Temporary result file built for query.
 ODP created.
 Blocking used for query.
 Cursor CTLCURS opened.


The keyfield in the file is 'QCCAT'

here is the code that builds and opens the cursor.

 *****************************************************************
 C     $CURSOR       BEGSR
 C                   IF        #POSTO > *BLANKS

Quite right Gary.  Mike, if you could paste in the actual statement and
identify the key fields in the file perhaps we could narrow down the
reasons for you.
