>> The problem though is that in order to be fair I really need to use the fastest syntax available and that would require working with a good SQL expert. Joe, Paul Conte did a very comprehensive set of tests a few years ago for News. Should be on their web site somewhere. In the article he described the testing methodology etc. and I think possible optimizations. Why not at those sources for test cases? PS. If I recall correctly his conclusion was that for single record I/O native was still the clear winner, but that set processing etc SQL was faster. I recall that some of the results were surprising to me (and apparently to Paul). I would look it up but I'm not a "real" member of the network - perhaps someone else can dig it up. PPS. I do know that performance is a very frustrating issue for the SQL guys since it is all but impossible to improve SQL performance without also improving native performance. They are therefore chasing a moving target! Jon Paris Partner400 www.Partner400.com
