Hi all,
        we have some fairly large data sets in terms of number of entries
(49 million +) and just cruising through to get a count of some data type is
done quite often.  My question is, when outputting to $NULL, is it any
faster to extract a single field rather than let SUPRTOOL (or other
programs) simply output the entire record to $NULL?
