Our three hour SQL Super Panel is not to be missed, with Dave Harms, David Swindon, Jim Morgan, Joe Tailleur, and Shawn Mason!  A great panel discusses SQL as it relates to Clarion, sharing their ideas and experiences.  Teriffic!

There was a discussion about the use of NOCASE.  Jim Morgan clarifies:

"The use of NOCASE can have performance consequences. It can force a table scan to convert the key elements to the same
case. The panel discussion on the attribute was reversed and the audience comment is correct. In the dictionary UI,
check the "Case Sensitive" key attribute checkbox. This will omit the NOCASE attribute."
