This is misleading, the counting is being done by perl. so what is happening is that I am locating all of the rows via a cursor and then calculating the stats using perl hashes. no counting is being in the DB. maybe it would be much faster to count in the db somehow? exty ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
