Re: SQR as data transfer tool

["Dray, Adam" <Adam.Dray@PHH.COM>]

I have thoughts, but no statistics to back them.

My instinct is that C will be more efficient in terms of run time,
but that SQR will be much more efficient to write.

However, without knowing more about the problem, I can't give an
informed answer.  If you're transferring between tables, why can't
you use a database tool, such as an INSERT statement, replication,
CIS, or the likes of bcpxfer (for Sybase, at least)?
