[Kent Sharkey]

Dev Class[^]:

Java programmers are being pressed to post the fastest possible solution to a “one billion row challenge,” prompting both Java and non-Java solutions along with debate about programming language performance.

"Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!"

Java? Pfff do it in excel :laugh: :laugh:

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
