I agree there is a point when optimization is required. At the time we were building a new product that had rapidly changing requirements and few users. So you can see my frustration when days of man hours where spent on this database.
- gaius 15y agoYou say the DBA "showed" that SPs were faster. It's hard to argue against actual timings. Why shouldn't he have had his say?
- peregrine 15y agoBecause it was also shown in several project's before and the current one that writing these custom SP's and using autogenerated SP's added huge amounts complexity and development time to our application. Which again was still being built and had no need to be a high performance machine. In fact none of the products that the company served up needed to be high performance. These guys were smart and bored and built huge monolithic systems full of complicated approaches to simple problems. Edit: Further more nobody wanted to work with this guy on the team. He was an "expert" on everything and ran every single conversation about anything, including areas he had no experience in, into the ground because nobody's opinions were valid because he clearly knew everything. /rant
- gaius 15y agoWell, if you were a PL/SQL dev, you'd be making the same complaint about the complexity of J2EE. I've no experience of working on systems where performance wasn't an issue :-)
