Datatable find performance

Alvin Bruney

Anybody know for sure if the data table find is faster than building a loop
routine. I'm thinking the find is syntactic sugar because it can't really
build an index table can it? But then again what is the primary key for if
it doesn't really build a table. I suspect it is more for filling the
datakeys and isn't really related to the index. But then again...

If you grab a copy of .NET Reflector, you can actually take a look at the
decompiled source of the Framework Class Library. The FindRow(...) method
does, indeed. work with indexes, and it's not a mere loop iteration. It also
leads to shorter, more readable code.

Thanks. I know it leads to shorter code, I just didn't know that it was more
than syntactic sugar. Thanks for heads up. Gotta start rewriting code now...

DataTable.Select performance

I am using Visual Studio 2003 and am getting lousy performance after using a datatable select and then trying to assign a value to a column of the row that was found: DataTable dt = new DataTable(); dt.Columns.Add("Number", System.Type.GetType("System.Int32")); dt.Columns.Add("Value", System.Type.GetType("System.Double")); for(int i=0;i<2000;i++) {

Behind the scenes -- how is a DataTable implemented?

by: Mountain Bikn' Guy | last post by:

When one gets a row from a database (ie, a DataTable), the row contains a typed value in each column. How is this typically implemented behind scenes. I want to build this functionality myself. The reason I want to do this is because I need an in-memory table without any of the overhead of a DataSet or DataTable. Thanks!

Comparision between Datatable's Select method and stored procedure

by: nandan | last post by:

Hi, Has any one ever compared the performance of calling a DataTable's Select method with a stored procedure doing the same thing? My point is: dataRows = DataTable.Select(filter) is better or Passing paramters to stored procedure? The datatable holds about 500-700 rows at any given time. If I select one of the approaches the business logic will go into respective layers.With dotnet in picture what would be a good approach

other table that stores data differently than ADO.Net datatable?

by: VMI | last post by:

We have this huge application that's based on storing tons of data on a dataTable. The only problem we're having is that storing LOTS of data (1 million records) into a datatable will slow down the system since all this data will be stored in memory. The performance is really affected with this. Since we don't really want to redesign everything based on this datatable, are there any companies that offer a product similar to the datatable...

Alternatives to DataTable

by: Guadala Harry | last post by:

The current implementation (that works) retrieves data from a SS2K db via stored procedure that returns 40-60 rows and 6 columns (one string and five int columns), and places that result set into a DataTable that remains in the Application State (this is an asp.net web application). Various methods throughout the app read this DataTable - searching for one specific row and then specific column(s) within the found row. While everything...

DataTable search performance

by: Larry Smith | last post by:

Hi there, Can anyone comment on the performance issues of "DataTable.Select()" vs "DataView.Find()" (or "DataView.FindRows()"). I have to conduct repeated searches using the same index and I'm not sure which to rely on. From what I've read, "DataTable.Select()" doesn't rely on indexes so using a "DataView" would seem to be the obvious choice. However, that still requires the index be built each time I construct a new "DataView". Given...

DataTable.Select vs DataTable.rows.Find vs foreach

by: Dave | last post by:

Hello, What is the best way (performance wise) to search for a row in a table? Let say I have a column named "col1" and what to get the row that the value of "col1" is "It is me"... I can set this column as the primary key to use the find method if it worths it. So my options are: 1- using the DataTable.Select method and provide a criteria like "col1 = 'It is me'" 2- creating a primary with "col1" and use the DataTable.Rows.Find("It is

Same question - Why use a DataTable in ASP .NET?

Hello: What is the point of using a DataTable in ASP .NET? We are unsure how you can use them without 1) rebuilding them every postback, or 2) taking up precious memory. We are not sure how to store a DataTable in any other way outside of our servers. In doing so, we leave ourselves open to large memory requirements. Furthermore, most web pages do not really support multiple changes per transaction. In other words, when the user submits...
