Torsten, You're chasing a non-existent problem. There is never a real life case that will have both good performance for N records and bad performance for N+1 records. The only way you can guarantee having good performance for N records is if you can build an index. If you can build an index then the search will always terminate after looking at N+1 records. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
