hi, i have a mysql database where i will be fetching a large amount of data.

So when i call my script to collect all the data and print it out in HTML tables so it looks organized then it'll take wayy long to load.

I just want to make sure I have the fastest code possible I have for my script (its a simple mysql script that just calls a select col,col2,col3,col4,col5,col6,col7,col8,col9,col10 from db where fee = 'done'; then output it in html tables).

Basically i'll be searching through 1 database, 1 table, 10 columns, and 4000+ rows using DBI and MySQL.

So which method of fetching should I use, bind_columns or fetchall_arrayref? Or any other faster method?

Thank you very much
