...but is it true that if you place the filter clause first, the join will not have to complete the whole table? eg. SELECT item.description, stock.available FROM item, stock WHERE item.itemid = '1234' AND item.itemid=stock.itemid; ...would be more efficient than, SELECT item.description, stock.available FROM item, stock WHERE item.itemid=stock.itemid AND item.itemid = '1234'; -- Keith Gray Technical Services Manager Heart Consulting Services P/L mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
