Is this a latest one -- I expect it to take a little longer now...  Also I
am curious how long it took to re-run the query after the update.

Right, so I am afraid we may fall into the trap of comparing the cleverness
of hand-coded solutions rather than the libraries' capabilities.

The reason I wanted to take a look at it is that I want to see if it looks
more like a library-based solution or a hand-coded solution.  Also, I want
to try more relational-based optimizations before starting to apply other
tricks.

But, again, could you see how long the re-run (after update) takes?

Thanks,
