I'd say you were making up the data, because CHAINs are always faster
that SELECT INTOs.  And that's my point.  You're making an anecdotal
statements using made up information.  Why?

A single instance with no data doesn't explain ANYTHING, Rob, which is
my point.  Yes, some people will stick with what they know.  At the same
time, other people will use whatever is new.  Others will use the thing
that best pads their resume.  While some will try to figure out what's
best for the company.

So what exactly was your point?  If you don't use SQL it's only because
you won't change?  I think the responsible thing is to change to SQL
where it helps your business.
