Hi Cetin,
I was playing little bit with your code and found something strange happening ...

Very first run of your code takes 9 seconds to execute ?!
Next consecutive run 0.410 sec.

At first (when replied earlier today) I tought sql statement run on non indexed table (customers) was causing that delay but then I commented sql statement out of the picture, and let your function run on native table. The same happened ; 9-10 seconds. Second run 0.4 sec.

Then I tried also within my object (with tmp cursor again) . Again the same!
9 second first run and again consecutive run 0.41 seconds.

Will play little bit more tonight to see if this can be somehow avoided.

I didn't include structure inclusion, error checking, restoring alias etc but I think this is more feasible (with multiple tables my real world production timings are under a second - never timed really, because the response was instant).
