in reply to Re^4: DBI speed up needed on MySQL
in thread DBI speed up needed on MySQL

However, DBI being highly optimized as it is, I don't expect any speed improvement over fetching the hashref.

It is highly optimized, but the docs point out that using fetchrow_hashref is slower than using other methods.

Why the need for a hash anyway?

That's the spec I have been given. I need a hash ref. (Another application uses it.)
