I agree with Kevin's answer. Also, it may depend on which U2 product/pick-like product you are using.
I always try to order the WITH statements so the one selecting the fewest records is first. However, I always place the fields with translates last since I know that translates are much more expensive than looking at data within the record. Dick Kryka Director of Applications CCCS of Greater Denver, Inc. Paragon Financial Services 303-632-2226 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi All, Does the order of criteria matter in a select or list statement, or is the execution order arbitrary? For example, if I wanted to select vendors who sell apples in Denver, is "Select vendors with location='Denver' and products='Apples'" the same as "Select vendors with products='Apples' and location='Denver'" Given that out of 300 vendors, 50 sell apples, and 100 are in denver, and 15 of those in Denver sell apples. If it does matter, should I put the criteria that is likely to return the smallest result set first?
