Hello,
I have a rather odd question. My company is an all java/oracle shop.
We do everything is Java... no matter what it is... parsing of text
files, messaging, gui you name it. My question is this... is Perl so
much better at parsing text files and outputing that we would see a
substantial speed increase? We process about 10 million records in
flat files a day for reformatting before putting them in a DB.
Also, when it comes to Unix threading... which one would be better off
Java or perl? Essentially, we would break the 10 million down into 10
files... each file is done in a seperate thread... The program also
has to keep a hashmap of keys to make sure we don;t include duplicate
records and it must connect to oracle every once in a while... is
switching to perl worth it considering the investment and know how we
have in java? This is the only portion of the code we would consider
switching to perl...
ideas?
Thanks,
Joie
