"If I understand you correctly, you have a list of 500 data sets, where each set comprises 1 to 7 matrices of 1K x 1K values (bytes? ints?); your test run of 13 "observation numbers" yielded 51 query executions, so maybe there was an average of about 3 matrices per observation? (13 queries to get the lists of detectors per observation, plus 13 * 3 queries to get the matrices for three detectors, would come to 52 queries -- am I on the right track here?)"
Sortakinda. The main diff is that each chip/matrix/CCD might only have a few 'hits' on it. So what my two DB queries do is:
- for each observation number in the list, return the chips/CCDs that actually have hits;
- for each chip/CCD involved in that observation number, return the x and y value of each hit on the chip/CCD.
Hope that makes more sense. The crunching that follows iterates over the result sets ... but is decoupled from the DB calls.

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).
