The problem with 'fixing it' is perhaps what are all the requirements. Certainly I use a version supplied with Firebird which as been 'fixed' so that indexing produces a much more even spread across the search tree. I will not pretend to understand all the details, but the results are demonstrable. I presume similar methods are used by the other database engines, so would it be worth seeing if there is some common 'fix' which gives good results across a few databases. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
