    I've come to understand that tables below a certain size will not use the indexes assigned to them, because the table is more efficiently joined by loading it entirely into memory. In the scripts I've created, I put the cutoff at 1000 pages, a completely arbitrary number based only on the opinions of other posters on the topic.

    Is there any way to determine on my system's unique configuration of memory and processors what that cutoff should really be?

    Wow. An interesting question to be sure. Let me see if I can find anything on that.

    Thanks

    John.
