>>Hi

>>I have a table that contains 192,216 records, 177,493 of these are deleted records.

>>I have a DELETED() Index on the table, yet when I run a command like SCAN FOR...ENDSCAN on an indexed field, it takes absolutely ages. This is over a 1MB WAN by the way, but it still should only take seconds, it takes minutes, about 3 to be exact.

Yes, an overnight run has been failing, so I'm on that now.

>2) Having an index on DELETED(). This can actually slow things down. See my FAQ on "Rushmore" for details.

I'll have a read.

Thanks
