I have several where clauses in my select statements in my vortex scripts. From what I have read, vortex executes the where clauses from left to right. I am trying to optimize the performance of my queries, and based on what I understand about the way texis executes queries, it would make sense that the proper ordering of the where clauses could increase performance. For example, maybe doing a search on an integer column first, would allow texis to resolve the query faster and reduce the set of possible results for the next, maybe slower, where clause. Or maybe a general rule might be to always put the where clause that will reduce the result set the most first. I guess I am just looking to see if you have any rules/suggestions/guideline on ordering the where clauses in my SQL statements. Assume all fields are indexed. -Thanks.

oops, sorry about the double post. That Tutorial is awesome. This is the first time I have seen it. How do you normally get to that from the the main site. I have never seen a link to it. There is some really valuable information in there. I wish I had of known about it earlier.

are there any other resources that I should know about that might be of help. Anything at all, as I enjoy all the information I can get.
