You're absolutely right. Not sure why SJL thinks that including factor1 on a delete wouldn't make any difference?

But including Factor1 on the delete opcode does require it to release it's current record lock, search for the first record matching the given key, lock it, and then delete it.

Thus, if you were using a "UNIQUE" key, it'd be very close to being the same (but not quite the same, because it has to release and re-get the lock)

But, on a non-unique key they are VERY different. So, I'm completely with you... you should not have specified a key there.
