Assume that I save data about an object and it has 10.000 observations of the object stored in a MySQL database. I want calculate the average value of a column, is it faster done by using PHP on the result array or using the MySQL function to do that?MySQL. You don't have to transfer all 10,000 records to PHP for one thing. -philip
