I have a C# List, that is filled from a database.. So far its only 1400 records, but I expect it to grow a LOT.. Routinely I do a check for new data on the entire list.. What I’m trying to figure out is this, is it faster to simply clear the List and reload all the data from the table, or would checking each record be faster..
Intuition tells me that the dump and load method would be faster, but I thought I should check first…
If my understanding is correct, you would have to load the list from MySql anyway, and veryfy that the in memory list is up to date, correct? So then the only issue you refer to is the in memory manegement of the list.
Well, typically I would try to profile the different behaviours first, an see which performs better.
But as you state, I would think that a clear and recreate should be faster than a systematic check and update.
