Problem Note 71028: Trying to subset a database table based on another database table can result in poor performance
 |  |  |  |  |
Trying to subset a database table based on another table might result in slow performance. This issue occurs due to an invalid query being built and passed to the database for execution when the following are true:
- You use the FEDSQL procedure.
- You use the NOT EXISTS component to subset the table.
- The database table that is used to subset the other table contains at least 64 variables.
- You use implicit pass-through.
The workaround is to use explicit pass-through where you can write the exact query to pass to the database.
