How does "executed 3000000 times a day"  strike you then?
Just got one....  and had to explain why it was not a good idea
to write a batch Java process as a loop of:
objtype objvar = new objtype(PK);
and let the constructor method do the same SQL for every row!
Sometimes I wonder if God ran out of brains when He
was making the Java developer....
