I wish<br>
if I use a dict for my properties then I cant pattern match when Im<br>
searching the tables (select(), QLC, etc.) so thats a no go, since, as<br>
far as I can tell, I would have to iterate over every single dict item<br>
and compare them to the value that I need...</blockquote><div><br>I don't really understand how you mean can't use pattern match, could you give an example?<br><br>There would be not much more iteration over a dict then there would searching in tables, it depends on your pattern how much scanning needs to be done. One benefit with a dict is that there is no copying as everything is in the same process.<br>
<br>Another factor to take into account is how big the tables are.<br><br>Robert<br><br></div></div>
