Yeah sorry...just realized I forgot that detail! Claims is 2.5 million rows, and Discharge is 65,000. Of course there's an index on provnum in both tables. Those tables record count will grow over time. Currently, there are 116 distinct provnums in Claims and 76 distinct provnums in Discharge. I'm going to program this so that when text file data is loaded into the tables, a distinct updated list is set into another separate lookup table in that folder. Then, my code will query that lookup table which--by definition of process--should contain all of the unique providers. I'll use candidate indexes to ensure no duplicates in my lookup free table. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/6a3104f26d08fe617806ee6cc2d7b0e6.squir...@webmail.dssco.net ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
