MS Access Forum / General 1 / November 2004question of performance
Hello Folks, about the performance(speed) of a query, does it make difference if I define my field type as string or integer. Thanks. > Hello Folks, > about the performance(speed) of a query, does it make difference if I define > my field type as string or integer. Thanks. Numeric, if indicizated is more fast. MAssimiliano If you search on an indexed field, whether text or numeric, it will be faster than if the same field was not indexed. While the comparison operation on an integer will, indeed be somewhat faster, I suspect the difference between a text field containing an integer and an integer field containing the same integer would be so small that you'd never see any difference sitting at the keyboard.
