Granted they are heavy lifters that are termed as "Dragnet" in my arsonal, or "just the facts" where I will generate all the crap about this one "order, statement, customer support calls, ,,,,," This is all done for a single aspect, order, and my only data is EVERY piece of information about that order. All of that crap is loaded into objects for use within our system. Sure this is stupid and wrong, but that is on the table for late 2008 and 2009 redesign. Today it just is. :( But back to bad SQL, no this is all normally executing code. When you put the code to the test and let the engine extrapolate every action that will happen by looking at the execution plan, you can see that it is tweaked. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ 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.
