For work planning, create a temporary table, copy from a generated data
set, and test it out. It really depends. Normally, you don't iterate in SQL
since rows are assumed to be independent. You think about SQL in terms of
sets and let application code handle the data transfers. It also really
depends on the size of your tables, indexing, joins, and more. Basically,
there isn't really an answer but it isnt hard to test.

Thanks,
