Look at the ROWS column when doing an EXPLAIN before your select statement. I believe the speed comes from matching the index(es) and not necessarily from the LIMIT. I may be (very) wrong though. <g>
Nothing is going to be as fast as a SEEK, but I sure like the features of a SQL Server. I'm very pleased with the performance of the VFP to MySQL system I'm developing. If I'm careful (continuous testing!), the app with scale very well. -Kevin CULLY Technologies, LLC Sponsor of FoxForward 2007 foxforward.net MB Software Solutions wrote: > Kevin Cully wrote: >> I would think that it would be faster doing one SPT to MySQL than to do >> multiple hits.
