Sometimes there is more than one way to code SQL statements to obtain the results you want. If you connect to a Sybase database using a Sybase native driver, or to a SQL Anywhere database using the ODBC driver, you can select Explain SQL on the Design menu to help you choose the most efficient coding method. Explain SQL displays information about the path that PowerBuilder will use to execute the statements in the SQL Statement Execution Plan dialog box. This is most useful when you are retrieving or updating data in an indexed column or using multiple tables.
