Hi, all, I recently posted this query and it doesn't seem to be getting any responses. Is there something important that I left unsaid, making this one tough to answer or is it, perhaps, not addressed to the right list?
I would like to redo my CREATE TABLE very much to allow me to do more efficient queries. Now it is pretty coumbersome but a guru told me that with a change in CREATE TABLE I could do more efficient queries of the sort I describe below. So please let me know if there is someplace else that I should be writing. Thanks, Gloria McMillan "Gloria L.
