We still need to optimize this portion of the code :(.

I'll try to see if I can spot any memory leak. Could you try running with valgrind?

Thanks,

Hi,

   I tried the latest version of ROOT (I got it from the CVS repository), version 5.09/01 16 December 2005, compiled with gcc 3.4.3.

   The TTreeSQL constructor works on the machine used (the first test with root 5.08.00 was on my laptop), but it takes a lot of time and requires a lot of network data transfer.

   Then, I tried some plots with some t->Draw("onefield") statements. And it seemed to me that each time the whole table is copied. After 5 or 6 plots, my machine (SL 4.1) killed the root.exe process which fullfilled the memory ( 1 GB + 2 GB of swap). Then I got no stack trace on stdout / stderr.

   The table has roughly 1 millions of rows with 400 columns each...
