On Wednesday 14 June 2006 03:57 pm, Terry Lee Tucker <terry@xxxxxxxx> thus communicated: --> Hello List: --> --> I've been told that an update to a record is equivalent to a delete and insert --> operation. We have a utility written in Perl that brings into sync certain --> elements of 50 thousand records on 8 structurally identical databases. We --> threw together the script and decided to just delete the record and re-insert --> it with the data that was brought into sync. Now the question: Is it just as --> fast to do it this way, or is there some hidden advantage to performing an --> update? --> --> Just curious. --> --> TIA Thanks for the answers. This list is a BIG help to us all :o]
