Or have Python send a better SQL statement that would run faster...a little SQL mojo goes a long way. The OP failed (as far as my thread-dabbling has noticed) to specify what sort of SQL is being run. If full table results are being returned just to be discarded, or there are more efficient ways of doing things in the SQL, one would be better off doing it on the server and letting it return a single finely-honed result-set. With some insight into the SQL statement(s), one might be able to find glaring bottlenecks. -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
