whats not being asked is how big is the dataset, what type of hardware, how do you know its running slow? compared to what?
I mean if you have a million records on a Pentium 2 with 128m of ram, your going to have less then average response time. also are the CF server and DB server on the same LAN? I think the sql statement you have is just about as straight forward as you are going to get. how long does a straight SELECT * FROM F INNER JOIN M taking?? -----Original Message----- From: Kris Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 11:43 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: OT: SQL Question How about something like this: SELECT F.pid, F.acrostic, F.recid, F.recordthread, F.aed_onset, F.d_form FROM vfrm_sae F WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM v_sae_jna_mr WHERE recid=F.recordthread) Not sure it'll be much faster, but it's worth a try.
