Mutli Email

I'm writting a page to send multi emails (just a few at a time, max 100) once
a day.
should this be done using just a reader, or is there a way to do this with a
dataset?
thanks

If all you are doing is reading from the database and not updting it then
the reader is the fastest (one way) and most simple data aquisistion.

Kes,

That depends. A reader will keep a connection to the database open while
you're looping through the records. If you have a delay built into the loop
that connection may be open a long time.

I would probably put the records directly into a datatable (you shouldn't
need the overhead of a dataset) then the connection will close right away
while your loop runs.

If this is being triggered from a website and is going to take a while to
run you will probably run into timeout issues. You may want to think about
starting up a new thread to run this send routine and then poll that thread
to see when it finishes.

Here's an article on multi-threading in web apps that I think will help you:

I see your logic regarding loop action extending the time the loop takes to
complete, but my understanding is that the DataReader is quicker natively at
getting the data in that using the full compliment of data objects. I cant
substantiate this with impirical data but I have read as much in several
articles over the last few years.

Am I wrong in this assertion ?, and if so, then why ?

Yes,

It will really depend on how many emails are being sent. A connection
shouldn't be opened for a long time, and therefore it's possible that a
datatable may be the better vehicle in this case.
