RE: perl DBI question: fetchrow_array

I tried "fetch" (which is same as fetchrow_arrayref):

$dat->bind_columns(undef,\($row));
while($dat->fetch) {

        print DATA "$row\n";
    }

And it seems the performance improved a bit (about 5%). Using RowCacheSize or not does not seem to matter. The size of the table can vary from 1 row to 1 million rows. So I won't use fetchall_arrayref.

Thanks for your help.
