I'd say the first time you use things, the classloader is loading the classes, so I wouldn't compare trial 1 and anything.... Try comparing trial 2 and trial 3. Do you get the same difference in results?
What JVM's was jtds tested on? Perhaps jtds benchmarks across jvms should be published somewhere? -Dov -----Original Message----- From: Alin Sinpalean [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 3:30 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFMX ODBC/JDBC Drivers Robert, I am a jTDS developer and I can tell you (and you may choose to believe me or not) that jTDS is definitely faster than the MS driver. I'm not familiar with CF but from what I can tell you are doing no processing of the results returned by the query, so the test is a bit irrelevant. You should go through all the results and read each column. Also, the difference between the first and the second run times for the MS driver (it's about a third faster in the second run) makes me think there's something wrong with the test (again, since I'm a Java, not CF programmer I can't say exactly what).
