No, calls to the database are made through callback functions.

I guess I wasn't being specific enough. In apps using H::T, all database activity has to be completed before H::T can be used. However, TT allows you to make database calls while TT is running, and it sounds like you're using that functionality.

One way, obviously, is to use the DBI plugin. Another way is use callback functions, as you're using. I'll bet 1000XP that if you were to benchmark how much of the template time is being spent in those callbacks, it'll be at least 50%.

Also, I'm not a TT expert, but [% field = data_header.field.slice(fieldno,fieldno).0 %] looks horribly inefficient. Woudn't [% field = data_header.field.$fieldno %] suffice?

Update: Fixed to jryan's reply.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested
