Re: Optimization in C

Is the thing you're trying to do really different from
SELECT service, noeud, rubrique, sum(date) FROM table
group by service, noeud, rubrique, assuming table is the 
same in both queries of course.

Also, since you aren't distincting the outside query, wouldn't
you be doing the same sequence of service, noeud and rubrique
more than once in the inner loop if it had more than one date 
(if it's only got one, why bother summing?)
