Hi Forum;

I use to run

select * from TABLE where 1=0

to fill an empty datataset with fields structure of any table. The
thing is that Firebird needs a little while (sometimes a few seconds)
to do it; but, he no time to make for example:

select * from TABLE where FIELD='Z'

when there is no row with that condition; end even if the table is a
half million records.

Why he need that time to do "where 1=0" ??. I found that because my
application stops execution for a few seconds each time I do that.

Best regards,

Dany
