( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Thanks for the input everybody, but -- regardless of public opinion -- this solution works great! Searches that used to take 45 seconds under heavy load (to open 2000 flat files, alphabetize them, then print 20 results) now take no more than 3 seconds. And, the I/O load is MUCH happier too!

I wound up using SQL*Loader for searches with >1000 results, which adds about 1 second of overhead. SQL*Loader supports "direct load insert", but it slows things down in my situation. Direct load insert works best when creating a table from a query to another table, and it is not specific to Oracle 8. Oracle 7 can do it too.

Thanks again! If anyone decides to use my Alba Transform :) and wants some more specific code, let me know.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
