Hi All, My first try with Class::DBI and DBI modules and I find that making a query using Class::DBI takes much much more time than compared to DBI.
Is it me who is doing something wrong or Class::DBI is always slower(I have kind of feeling that its me who is doing something wrong). Also, I have another question. Why do I need to specify the column names, primary keys in Class::DBI while not in DBI? BTW, I have ~40k records and using mysql 5.0. *** using DBI *** use strict; use warnings; use DBI(); my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=scratch;host=blah","user","passwd"); my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT field from table where user = 'user1'"); $sth->execute(); while (my $ref = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()) { print $ref->{field}, "\n"; } $sth->finish(); $dbh->disconnect(); ## Returns the result in a flash *** using Class::DBI *** use strict; use warnings; use Test::Personal; my @users = Test::Personal->search(user => "user1"); foreach my $u ( @users ){ print $u->field, "\n"; } ## Returns the result very slowly. ____Test::Personal____ package Test::Personal; use base 'Test::DBI'; Test::Personal->table('table'); Test::Personal->columns(Primary => qw/user start_time/); Test::Personal->columns(Others => qw/field/); 1; _____Test::DBI_______ package Test::DBI; use base 'Class::DBI'; Test::DBI->connection('dbi:mysql:database=scratch;host=blah', 'user', 'password'); 1; --Ankur -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
