I've heard that perl-DBI is slow. Is this true? If so, is it because of Perl being an interpreted language?
Perl is compiled, always has been. DBI is no slower than any other application that has to talk to a database. This involves disk and/or network I/O, transaction processing, and any latency involved in using a time-shared system (just about all of them these days). I have worked on large datasets with Perl using DBI for years; in most cases my Perl runs no slower than C that "real" programmers come up with and frequently runs faster. -- Steven Lembark 85-09 90th Street Workhorse Computing Woodhaven, NY 11421 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 888 359 3508
