People brought examples and he was able to convert each one if I remember correctly. In case you knew Jeff, he quit all programming years ago, made a bit of money inventing the Lapinator (one of the first laptop "desks" of which his website named me as the muse for the idea). He is heavy into local politics here in the Chicago area, has been jailed by the political folk he routinely ticks off (altho he welcomes it because his jail posts are priceless), has his own political blog, is a columnist in local papers, or you can search Facebook for the "Curmudgeon Book Club" Karen -----Original Message----- From: Dan Goldberg <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, Jan 20, 2019 4:10 pm Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - Code update I use temp tables alot to speed up processing and view usage.

One area is evaluating and updating cursors. Old code ran a cursor and took 63 seconds.New code runs temporary tables and select update and now takes 2 seconds. It's a win.
