Hi all, out of curiosity I made the same timing tests as described in my posting 'Strange execution times' with mySQL.
There's no reason to whine about the 300 microseconds at 100 selects. MySQL, connected by mysqltcl to Tcl, delivers after about 26305 microseconds, decreasing for 10000 runs to about 232 microseconds. I'll definitely switch to sqlite! Thanks, Richard. This is just for your information. Kind regards Ulrich
