Hi everyone,

Which of the commands below would execute faster assuming you have a million records and 200,000 of this records corresponds to the CUST_ID to compute the OrderAmount?

1. (PRG)
Local lnTotalOrder, lcCustID

lnTotalOrder = 0
lcCustID = "0008"

Seek &lcCustID    && Seek "0008"
Do while Customer.Cust_ID=&lcCustID
   lnTotalOrder = lnTotalOrder + Customer.OrderAmount
   Skip
Enddo
Return (lnTotalOrder)
or

2. (SQL)
Select Customer.Cust_ID, sum(Customer.OrderAmount) As lnTotalOrder;
from Customer  into cursor temp where Customer.Cust_ID="0008" Group by Customer.Cust_ID
Next
