Joining via a tinyint or something will make your large table smaller which is nice. Smaller tables = faster tables.

Hi, I am going to test this out but would be good to know anyways. A large table is joined to a tiny table (8 rows) on a text field. Should I be joining on an int field eg: recid intead of name? Is the performance affected in either case? Thanks .
