Hello, I've just performed a few tests when using PEAR::DB and the results weren't good at all. If I compare a script using PEAR::DB with a script using standard functions (and which supports mysql, pgsql and sqlite databases), the script using PEAR::DB is 10 times slower than the other. In one of my projects, it slows down execution time to 0,7 sec per page ! Conclusion : if you want to use PEAR::DB package, you'll probably will have to use cache systems for scripts that may be request often. Am I the only one annoying by this loss of performance ? Because this is a huge loss in that case ! Greg
Remember, PEAR::DB also uses the standard functions, so I can't understand, why it should be much slower. Rainer
