( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

That's true, but not always.

Sometimes you don't need process even 1% of the data.

You just read it, split, and drop 99.9% of lines where field1 <> 'abcd' (that's where SQL can help)

Or you read webserver logs into memory hash (grouped by IP) and then you do scoring of new site visitors in real time (and you need access only records related to particular IP) (and SQL will be slower)

Or maybe you read list of files from text file, and read filelisting from disk, and then compare it in memory (no use for SQL)

Or general case - you read data from text files (1M lines) and skip all records which are not already in another memory hash (there are 10K lines)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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.
