Ämne: Re: [Oorexx-users] oosqlite ? step and result


I have tried sql statements with :aname or ?1 or etc and then bind a value to 
that parameter with ~bindtext as I think I get a performance gain by doing so, 
part of the sql is already "compiled" by sqlite and it would be conveniant to 
get the result back as directory object for each step.
As I followed the conversation about "performance observation..." I realized 
that creating the directory objects with (~exec) current implementation take 
some resources, I have tables with ~300 000 rows and ~10 columns, and wants to 
have the convineance of using the directory objects as reference to the 
returned row together with the ~bindtext possibility, less changes to some 
existing code I have :-).

OK, I see what you mean. My immediate reaction is - because Rexx is an 
interpretive language, even if compiled, there is the possibility that there is 
very little to gain from using SQL bind. I believe the effort for SQLite to 
compile an SQL statement is almost negligible compared to Rexx compiling and 
executing a Rexx statement. I started to look into the possibility of using 
bind but found that I had nothing to gain, it just complicated my coding. As 
I've stated earlier, by using exec all the major processing is done in compiled 
code in contrast to step, where Rexx must be called for each row. I can imagine 
that handling 300,000 rows in Rexx will have an impact on performance.

In any case it would be very interesting if you had a chance to make a 
performance comparison between the two. For this you would need to establish 
the input and the exact format of the output, then build the step and exec 
routines that when executed will take you from A to B. Then use the time("E") 
function to time each of them.

Also remember that when you use exec you also have the callBack functionality 
available where you can handle individual rows just like step to build for 
example a directory. If I remember correctly, in the callBack routine you also 
have the power to terminate a query before you have processed all rows, just 
like step.
