On your "Select 1" you say

        LEFT JOIN TR_CON_MAPEO_CLIENTES tr
        ON (h1.mov_destino = m.alm_codigo)
  WHERE tr.cod_cli_externo <> 0

Is this correct? On what field is table TR joining with the rest? Isn't this generating a cartesian product?

Please post the CREATE TABLE and CREATE INDEX sentences for the tables involved, thank you Received on Thu Jul 12 2007 - 12:08:09 CDT
