A SQLNet thing I probably forgot about...

My most recent "ah-hah", or "oh yeah" moment came reading Jonathan Lewis's blog. A very neat "SQL Net compression" detail.

It is one of those things that I cannot remember if it was something I knew but forgot - or just never knew.

His example makes the point nicely, you have to appreciate those little test scripts for that. You can clearly see what a difference an order by might make on a the size of a result set set across the network.

Yet another reason to look at bulk processing - the more reasons the better...
