Re: CHAIN Versus SETLL and READ When Data Needed

Yea....but that is the one to avoid.
You will not get into this kind of issues with a correct database design.
Or 'if nothing else' (but than you do not talk about regular processes (only to 
be done once in an while)) you have to call in lowerlevel record selection. 
Temporary accesspath's or even embedded SQL could make that run faster.

Thats a lot of discussion over SETLL vs CHAIN.
I would be more concerned about locking records on the read when it comes
to performance.  If you are processing many records before you get the one
you need, you will save more time by reading without a lock than you will
by doing a SETLL vs CHAIN.
