The best solution is to fix the SQL statements. Unfortunately, it's quite possible that you won't be able to fix the application that's causing the problem, becuase it's closed-source and written by someone else. At that point, you're up against the frustrating chore of convincing the application designer to fix their lousy code, which is often impossible. In the end, it seems that most people end up buying faster, more expensive hardware to make up for lousy application design. It's a damn shame, but that's what seems to happen a lot. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
