hi, thanks everyone for replying.

i dont have too many fancy html, just the plain table tags. no images, text, natta. just table tags. :)

i'm fetching about 2200 rows, with 10 columns, 1 table and it will take 12-16 seconds to load (i'm using a cable modem) up the html and for it to be displayed on the browser.

-AT- first i was using fetchall_arrayref (until i learned that this way is the slowest and causes the most memory strain on the webserver.

-THEN- i decided to use bind_columns with fetch. I too also heard this way was the best from two of the tutorials on here (Files and Databases).

-HOWEVER- whether using either way, BOTH fetchall-arrayref and bind_columns methods take about the same amount of time to display the results on the browser, again around 12-16 seconds.

That is mainly why I decided to come here to post a question relating to this topic. I'm figuring bind_columns is the fastest/efficient way to do the job I'm trying to do, and that it takes the same amount of time as fetchall_arrayref because its on the browser end, therefore it still needs to wait for the '/table' tag.

one question that I now have-
would placing a max row option or a limit in the sql improve the efficiency/speed?

thanks
