A bit off topic, but perhaps someone could direct me. I'm in vb.net
I have to read thousands of tables and operate on each one in sequence. I need to do this fast. I want to read the data from 6 stored columns and many rows from each table. Once the table is read, I need to create derived columns (e.g. (new) Column C = column A + ColumnB). I'm finding it pretty slow to add the new columns to each table before working on it. I'm finding it faster to store the columns to be derived (empty) in the database -- but this makes the db larger. Is there an established, best practice, method for this problem? More generally, is there a place I could look for advice on how to optimize these procedures?
