Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

This module's goal is simple: to offer some simple but robust tests to measure the performance of different ways of querying a database in Drupal. See Compare $connection->query() and $connection->select() performance for more background and rationale.

I'm hoping this module and some other testing can help to give reproducible hard data to support arguments behind using (or not using) db_query() or $connection->query() in certain circumstances.

The Drupal 7 version is in the 7.x-1.x branch.

The Drupal 8/9 version is in the 2.0.x branch.
