Hi guys. Is there any difference between these two queries regarding
performance?
Table stopvoip has several million records. 
I suspect using the aggregate function would be best, but benchmarking
doesn't seem to confirm it. Both queries take around 150 - 175 ms once data
has been cached. 
Any hindsights?

WHERE callingstationid = '2941605118'

AND h323disconnectcause = '10'   
AND acctsessiontime > 0
