Ron, I am unaware of any SQL command named "SEND". Define "SEND". Are=20 you executing remote
procedure, inserting in a remote table or testing CPIP protocol=20 (Carrier Pigeon Internet Protocol)?
Is there a way to see the events you are waiting on? The word "slow" =20 usually means that you are waiting
on something. Without having the exact timings and analysis, I have to=20 use tea leaves from my Earl Grey
teabags. They tell me that you are waiting on Messiah's second coming=20 and that's bound to be slow.
I'll have to buy Sir Winston's , they seem to be better for prophecies.=20 Of course, the classic method
is using laurel leaves, fall in trance and then utter a prophecy. That=20 used to be known as Said Quixotically on Laurel or SQL, for short.
