datatool package FAQ

LaTeX is very slow with large databases 🔗

Version 2.0 uses a more efficient way of storing the data which should speed things up. Also, the latest version of the xfor package (which datatool uses) has a more efficient loop, so also consider updating xfor. If it’s too slow for your requirements, consider using a data processing tool (e.g. MatLab or Perl) to write the TeX code to an external file.
