I don't know about actual performance, but it also depends what you're trying to do. For example, do you need to be able to sort and query by time? In any case, I'd suggest at the very least using an 'hours' and 'minutes' integer field, rather that a String -- that's going to be a lot easier to query. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DataMapper" group.
