The initial results contains about 20 millions line of data. Finally the results is about  1 million line. It took a couple of minutes to run.

Similar to the first one. But the amount of dataset is about 100 times larger than the first one. The result database file(Access 2007) is about 200 MB large. It took more than one hour to run.
