Hi guys, since the price-differences betwen IDS 9.4 and IDS 9.4 WE are not marginal, I wondered, whether it's worth to buy a IDS 9.4 in order to be able to use PDQ. May be it's better, to invest the difference-amount in better hardware. Does anyone of you have expieriences in using PDQ and it's benefits concerning Query-Performance? Thanks for your answers Bye Markus

Only if you're doing big, heavy, table scanning queries, really. But it also makes a big difference to stuff like index creation and update stats. -- Ciao, The Obnoxious One "Ogni uomo mi guarda come se fossi una testa di cazzo"
