Hello
	I have two speed problems.

	The first, and least troublesome, is
selecting records out of a 3000 element table.
Although this takesa couple of seconds, I 
can live with it.

	The second, which could be done with a join
at the same time as the first, selects 1 to 30 records
from a table of 28319, for each record in the first select.

	The whole picture is tainted by the fact that 
this is running on a Cassiopeia (133 MH R4000) Pocket
PC. Not very fast at all.

	I could be that Java is just not fast enough for
thie application on this machine. I hoip not though.

	I am currently reducing the number of records by
using a intelligent selection process.

	Thanks for your time.

Doug

An indexed lookup, testing for equality,  will run at probably the same
speed regardless of the data type. InstantDB uses hash indexes instead of
b-trees so all comparisons are integer comparisons.

How big is the table and how slow is the lookup?

Regards

Pete
