Hi,

Is there a speed advantage to using separate SELECT commands as opposed to humping them up into a single command using sub queries?

Here's an example of what I'm refering to:

SELECT Field1,CNT(*) as nTotal FROM ATable INTO CURSOR crsCursor1 GROUP BY Field1

SELECT nTotal FROM crsCursor1 INTO CURSOR crsCursor2

as opposed to

SELECT nTotal FROM (SELECT Field1,CNT(*) as nTotal FROM ATable GROUP BY Field1) INTO CURSOR crsCursor2

The first example is more of a pain to clean up after but is easier to debug. I'm just wondering if there is a runtime speed advantage to any of them.

Aloha,

James
