Hi Bob,
It sounds like your library is something I could benefit from :-)
I know it's been mentioned on the list before, but I've lost track of
where to get it from, and a quick search didn't turn anything up. Could
you please send a reminder (either to the list or direct to me if you
prefer).
Thanks
Alex.

Hi Tom.
So the little benchmarking I did originally showed that my method was a little
longer, as I still have to iterate once through the array to populate the
database. Where it really shines is that you can do complex queries, as well as
multiple column sorts before converting back to an array. Also, if you need to
make multiple passes at the data, the speed of course exceeds iterating through
the array again and again. Finally, since it's in a database, it's persistent
through idle, whereas an array would have to be stored in a script local or a
property if you needed it across runtime sessions.

A great question Jacque ....Helpful thread all around.
I have a tendency to think that any operation i perform to convert an
entire array into something else will take longer than to loop through the
keys. I'm happy to be wrong ,and I imagine it depends on the number of
items in the dataset. But for my particular use at the moment, I find LC
performance to be excellent.
Bob I'm interested in your library......mostly learning the point at which
it makes sense to do that conversion and what kind of speedups can
occur.....have you done any benchmarks on it?
Great reminder & idea Monte
