Hi
I know this is probably a bit off topic but...
I never realised how many other DBs were implementing an MGA
architecture. One of FBs weaknesses has been with Select Count()...
statements. It has always been blamed on the fact that FB is MGA and
'Other' faster DB is not. If the others are MGA as well is the select
Count() really a FB issue NOT and MGA issue?
