which is faster?

With 'FilterSQL' (TmyTable) and use SQL statement (TmyQuery), which is faster?

example:
x := TmyTable.Create(nil);
x.tablename := 'stock';
x.filtersql := 'Reff=20';
x.open;

y := tmyQuery.create(nil)
y.sql.text := 'select reff, name from stock where reff=20';
y.open;

x or y is faster?

"Y" is more Faster, because MySQL Server return only Row where Reff=20.

"X", MySQL return all records and the filter is applied in the client Side, but all records are transfered on the network.

The second way (with y) should be a bit faster because you have restricted field list in the SELECT statement. The second way will be much faster if there is a BLOB field that is not required on the client in the stock table. In the first case all the fields from the table will be retrieved from the server.
In both cases filtering is performed on the server.
