Hello,
I have read somewhere that BETWEEN is faster than the equivalent
expression using comparison operators.
Example:
... WHERE Column BETWEEN 1 AND 10
compared with
...WHERE Column >= 1 AND Column <= 10
between is definitely NOT faster.
I time tested these two statements
SELECT test1 FROM one WHERE id >= 101 AND id <= 110
and
SELECT test1 FROM one WHERE id BETWEEN 11 AND 110
30 repetitions of the first statement ran in 10 windows clock cycles.
30 reps of the second took 116,843 cycles.
(the id column is indexed)
