Why are queries executed in java so much slower than vsql?

Paxton_Powers

From vsql with timings turned on (\timing) the simple query of “select 1+1” returns in 8.6ms. dbadmin=> \timing Timing is on. dbadmin=> select 1+1; ?column? ---------- 2 (1 row) Time: First fetch (1 row): 8.657 ms. All rows formatted: 8.705 ms If I write a java app to execute the same query, it takes 7 times longer. Why? dstott@dast:~/testvertica$ java -cp vertica-jdk5-6.1.3-0.jar:.
