in thread Reading (the same) data in different ways & memory usage

Wow. I don't know what to say about that.

I'd be interesting to see the info for the two DBs I've used most in the past. DB2 & MSSQL. I'd expect the former to do the "right thing"; and that latter to do something 'non-standard' for very well thought through but barely documented reasons.
