Sure, lets see how it performs. Most correlated subqueries are very slow in commercial databases too. I guess I thought you could do the whole subquery, then sort on the correlated columns, which allows quick access to the results, but if the subquery references only a small part of the upper query's output, it is quicker to do it your way. -- Bruce Momjian maillist@candle.pha.pa.us
