I think you missed Ron's point. At the risk of exagerating, you can have a million datasets, that (while taking up catalogue space) have no impact to performance. The catalogue is indexed. It is cached. But, if you don't touch a DSN (or an alias) it is not loaded, opened, or referenced! - -teD I’m an enthusiastic proselytiser of the universal panacea I believe in! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
