in reply to Benchmark Wrapper

I just want to register caveats about benchmarking SQL and what they mean; first, if others are using the DB, results can differ for reasons having nothing to do with your code.

Also, rewriting queries is only one way of speeding things up; pay attention to using indexes, and the various DBMS-specific tricks that are out there.

Philosophy can be made out of anything. Or less -- Jerry A. Fodor

    In my case, I just want an estimate so whoever's running the report will have a stamp of how long it took. It's not really how fast the code is I'm concerned about, rather a general idea of how long it took to run the report.

    By doing this, it will help with a lot of other issues we currently have in the queue. Any thoughts, but specifically to my previous question Re:Benchmark Wrapper.
