You're right that DELETE ALL and >PACK is equivalent, but I thought I recall ZAP being quicker. ??
If you've got a few hundred thousand records in the table, ZAP would be quite a bit faster. Heck, I'd be tempted to do my own ZAP routine before going the DELETE ALL / PACK route... Function myzap parameter cTbl2Zap LOCAL cDataDir cDataDir = addbs(justpath(dbc())) select (cTbl2Zap) copy structure to (cDataDir + cTbl2Zap + "_tmpthing") database (dbc()) with CDX DROP TABLE (cTbl2Zap) USE (cTbl2Zap + "_tmpthing") copy structure to (cDataDir + cTbl2Zap) database (dbc()) with cdx drop table (cTbl2Zap + "_tmpthing") use (cTbl2Zap) return Of course, if ZAP was hitting an error, maybe the DROP TABLE would have triggered the same thing....? -Charlie _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
