Does anyone know of a way to speed up seek time when selecting based on an indexed char field? I have a query that I'm executing ('select * from Table where UserName = myname') and it takes approximately 7 seconds to execute this 1000 times (UserName is char[50], and it is indexed). If I change the query to search on UserID, an indexed integer field, the same test runs in less than 1 second...
If you're indexing all 50 characters, index fewer of them.
Any help is appreciated... -- Jason H. West Software Engineer
