>I am trying to get some benchmarking information for an upcomming project concering a VFP application that uses SQL server as a back end. What we have now is an ODBC connection that is called using the SQLCONNECT() and SQLEXEC() functions. What I need to deterine is, is this the fastest and most efficient manner to retrieve a set of information?
