Subject Newbie: Query speed and DB size
Author kogerbnz
Hello

Just some basic questions to understand performance with FB (and RDBMS
in general).

1) Does the query speed depend on the number of rows in a table?

2) Does the query speed depend on the number of columns in a table,
assuming that I will only query the PK column (select ID from mytable)?

3) OK, I know this is a vague question.
On a "normal" desktop computer say 2MHz and 2GB RAM or something like
it. How many simple queries (like select * from table) can I make in a
second. Is it in the 100's, 1000's etc.?

Thanks :)
