Hi, a good trick to speed selects like this up is to add an index to the ID....try it and see what happens to your selects....

I was under the impression that performing a wildcard SELECT with @ID would only result the key section of a FILE been read. Eg, SELECT MYFILE WITH @ID = "prefix]" Is this incorrect? Does it actually result in the entire FILE being read into memory to complete this SELECT?
