All, Thanks so much. I think I'm sold, especially if performance benefits are really as much as double, by and large.
As far as why we want empty recordsets returned, 99.9% of the time, actual data is returned from these queries, and so the .1% that a bogus value is passed in, we find that our app logic is much nicer if we go ahead and return the empty recordset. Given that it's such a small percentage, we're not too concerned for the speed loss. If that ends up killing us...well...you guys aren't to blame. (-; But seriously, thanks very much for the advice.
