Dear all,

I have an application that does an intersect between two tables containing region 
objects.

The SQL is along the lines of :

Select SiteId, AvianId from tblLayer1, tblLayer2 where tblLayer1.obj intersects 
tblLayer2.obj 
into tblNewTable

The problem that I have is that the new table contains a new region object 
representing the intersection (even if the obj column isn't listed) - which is perhaps 
what you would mostly want.

I only need the non spatial columns.  The big problem I have is that the intersection 
result is creating physical .map files in excess of 1.2 GBs, yes 1200MB (.map files 
any larger than about this seem crash MapInfo).  

The allied and larger problem is that the process is taking miles too long (and I need 
to do it several times for several different layers).

Does anyone know how I can avoid the spatial region being created in the new table and 
thus reduce my run times?

Thanks,
