Am I correct in assuming that when you use SQL Select, the TOP syntax is not optimized for an index?
I have a table MYORDERS with field ORDERNO that has index tag.
When I try:
select top 10 * from MYORDERS order by ORDERNO
The query takes considerable time. I can sort of "see" that VFP selects all records and then selects 10 from the top. Is there a way to make this query run faster?
Thank you.
