Why DataSet.Load and DataTable.Load - very slow ?

The DbDataReader object just reads data from database objects. 

The DbDataAdapter.Fill method reads data and caches them in the DataSet object. 

The DataTable.Load method fills a DataTable with values from a data source using the supplied IDataReader and creates constraints. 

The DataSet.Load method fills a DataSet with values from a data source using the supplied IDataReader, using an array of DataTable instances to supply the schema and namespace information. It creates constraints and tables for represeting data. 

In other words, the Load methods require more time, because they make more operations with data.

  1. Testing Data : during tests of SELECT command that DataSet.Load and DataTable.Load methods are much slower compared to other methods of reading data (using DbDataReader or with DbDataAdapter.Fill method). I've got following times:

    Data read with DbDataReader object:
    - Time: 2671.875ms
    Data read with DataSet.Load method:
    - Time: 11546.875ms
    Data read with DataTable.Load method:
    - Time: 11437.5ms
    Data read using DbDataAdapter.Fill method:
    - Time: 3125ms

    In each test 90564 rows were read from database (from two tables) and stored into data set (into two data tables). In DbDataReader's test, data tables were created and filled row-by-row with DataTable.LoadDataRow method.

    Clearly Load methods are almost 5 times slower. Is there any explanation for this. At the beginning I thought that this slow down is caused by constraints checking but disabling it (setting EnforceConstraints property of DataSet object to false) didn't change anything.

Quicksort implementation by using Java

 source: http://www.algolist.net/Algorithms/Sorting/Quicksort. The divide-and-conquer strategy is used in quicksort. Below the recursion step is described: 1st: Choose a pivot value. We take the value of the middle element as pivot value, but it can be any value(e.g. some people would like to pick the first element and do the exchange in the end) 2nd: Partition. Rearrange elements in such a way, that all elements which are lesser than the pivot go to the left part of the array and all elements greater than the pivot, go to the right part of the array. Values equal to the pivot can stay in any part of the array. Apply quicksort algorithm recursively to the left and the right parts - the previous pivot element excluded! Partition algorithm in detail: There are two indices i and j and at the very beginning of the partition algorithm i points to the first element in the array and j points to the last one. Then algorithm moves i forward, until an element with value greater or equal

Live - solving the jasper report out of memory and high cpu usage problems

I still can not find the solution. So I summary all the things and tell my boss about it. If any one knows the solution, please let me know. Symptom: 1.        The JVM became Out of memory when creating big consumption report 2.        Those JRTemplateElement-instances is still there occupied even if I logged out the system Reason:         1. There is a large number of JRTemplateElement-instances cached in the memory 2.     The clearobjects() method in ReportThread class has not been triggered when logging out Action I tried:      About the Virtualizer: 1.     Replacing the JRSwapFileVirtualizer with JRFileVirtualizer 2.     Not use any FileVirtualizer for cache the report in the hard disk Result: The japserreport still creating the a large number of JRTemplateElement-instances in the memory        About the work around below,      I tried: item 3(in below work around list) – result: it helps to reduce  the size of the JRTemplateElement Object        

Stretch a row if data overflows in jasper reports

It is very common that some columns of the report need to stretch to show all the content in that column. But  if you just specify the property " stretch with overflow' to that column(we called text field in jasper report world) , it will just stretch that column and won't change other columns, so the row could be ridiculous. Haven't find the solution from internet yet. So I just review the properties in iReport one by one and find two useful properties(the bold  highlighted in example below) which resolve the problems.   example: <band height="20" splitType="Stretch" > <textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" pattern="" isBlankWhenNull="true"> <reportElement stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" mode="Opaque" x="192" y="0" width="183" height="20"/> <box leftPadding="2"> <pen lineWidth="0.25"/>
