Why would you make that extrapolation?

Where did he do that?

Thanks for sharing.

But that is NOT what the original poster asked for.

If you can do one player in 7 seconds and you can process 24 hours a day then
processing 85000 players takes a full week with no eating and no sleeping and no
breaks.

That's the problem.  The OP does not want to extract a single player from his
database.  He wants to extract all of them.  And he wants them collected into
all the games for each individual player.
