Hi John,

I *always* use optimistic table buffering. I do this because of the reason David stated, that if the record pointer moves during row buffering an implicit tableupdate() is issued. I then use TABLEUPDATE(0) to update only one record (the current record) and TABLEUPDATE(1) to update all modified records.
