Embedded SQL Performance Question

I am looking for efficiencies and identifying where some processes can be
streamlined.



I have a number of RPG programs using SQL statements in purge and delete
programs which are being called five times, once for each company. Many
of the SQL DELETEs are being performed on non-company specific fields such
as dates. Deleting by dates would cross all company records.



Are there any performance hits for attempting to do SQL DELETEs multiple
times where the first call of the program has already deleted the records
and subsequent calls are redundant? I would think not but every
nanosecond counts.



Thanks,
