How do you suppose Remedy gets data from the db? Sql menus have less overhead (see caveats below) because they bypass a lot of checks and extra data that the remedy api imposes:
These api calls (I'm assuming) are used by search menus to retrieve data: * gle - get list entry * glewf - get list entry with fields Some info on these api calls: - calls to gle/glewf 'may' retrieve data from both the T and H tables - calls to gle/glewf observes field permissions (row level permissions implied) - calls to gle/glewf observes form permissions It would be easy to get a definitive answer to this for yourself by creating both menus and capturing the sql and api logs then comparing. Probably the only way you would pick up some benefit using a search menu would be by using one of the 'Refresh On' options in the menu definition that would cause the client to cache the results for re-use.
