Hi= Chris, hi Raj,

in relational databases there are different ta= rgets for the optimizer:
Return the first record as fast as possible, even if reading through = the whole dataset takes longer (low latency)
Return all rows as fast as possible, even if reading the first record= may take a longer time (highest throughput)

Best regards,
Jens
