Side comment: I understand what Wil is saying and I think he has a valid point. But I believe the value of the point is now insignificant. The tiny bit of contention that Will brings up here is about just how much disk access is done by any given process. Eliminate disk reads and the process speed

Jeffery, I would say #1 does the trick. Any U2 TCL query evaluates from left to right. When one term eliminates the record the query on that record stops, and the query continues to the next record. So #1 is exactly your most effective, leaving the complex i-descriptor to evaluate only the
