I think you'll find that you'd have to replicate so much of what's done after the SQL is compiled that there would be little (almost nothing) saved in terms of execution time and an immense increase in complexity. If you prepare a query and execute repeatedly there really isn't any penalty to "using the SQL layer". -Tom
