Hi Erik,
Just a curiousity, really. . .
You say "the server view is faster, because the view code is precompiled". While I have no reason at all to dispute that fact, I *do* wonder about just how much faster the fact that it is precompiled actually makes it. I mean, how long can a compile of a SQL statement really take and what percentage would that time be of the whole?
Regards,
Jim N

>What do you mean by local view? A VFP local view looks at VFP data. If you mean a view stored on the server, then the answer is- the server view is faster, because the view code is precompiled. All stored procs and views defined in the server database use the server's processor. Actually all operations on server databases run on the server- because clients don't have direct access to the files.
