Hello,

I guess this is another beginners question:

I have a table with 300`000 entries.
Each row has a separate field TIMESTAMP  with its creation data.
Now, I query the latest 100 hundred using:

select first(100) X, Y, TIMESTAMP
from MY_TABLE
order by TIMESTAMP DESC  -- order by takes all the time

This query takes over a minute.
Is there a way to speed this up?

Background:  Infact, the next one hundred are queried remotely by the
server and due to the long processing time my connections times out ....

Any ideas?

BR

Matthias
