I have recently started testing the OTL library with the SQL Server using the Visual Studio 2013. My tests demonstrated that the performance of simple select statements against a 10000 count table is 40% slower than the performance of a similar .NET 4.0 test application. All tests were performed with all optimizations turned on for both platforms.
Both apps perform the following tasks: Open the db connection Create (and reserve space) for the container object. Execute the select statement command. For each record fetched from db create an entity using the db(stream/reader) object add the object to container close
.NET C# app requires 0.5 secs to complete this task, while OTL-C++ app takes 0.7 secs to complete and I wonder if it is possible to optimize the C++ app to perform faster?
Snippet of C++ code:
#define OTL_ODBC_MSSQL_2008 // Compile OTL 4/ODBC, MS SQL 2008
#define OTL_CPP_11_ON
#define OTL_STL // Turn on STL features
#define OTL_ANSI_CPP // Turn on ANSI C++ typecasts
#define OTL_UNICODE // Enable Unicode OTL for ODBC
#include "otlv4.h"
