Hi,<br><br>Perhaps an obvious question, but I was wondering if there is a huge speed hit when running queries against a table vs running the same queries against a view of a larger table constrained to the data that is pertinent.<br>
<br>Concrete example: millions of points all over the world, but I only care about those over Africa. I could either create a new table storing only those points over Africa, or I could create a view on the original table that is constrained by a join on a table containing the borders of the African continent.<br>
<br>If I have requisite indexes in place, will it still be faster to use the new table instead of the view?<br>Cheers,<br>dylan<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Dylan Lorimer | Strategic Partner Management<br>415.573.2909 (Grand Central) | 650.644.0182 (Fax)<br>
