title: Performance, asking mysql to output CSV format vs parsing the results and converting them with the App
body: <p>I'm trying to increase performance on a Node.js App using Mysql as a database.
  One feature I'd like to optimize in terms of performance is the repors generator.</p>
  
  <p>Currently the data is being asked to mysql and then the results are parsed in a second time from node.js in a for cycle to then be formatted in CSV format.</p>
  
  <p>My question is: wouldn't be faster to directly query mysql with CSV as output format?</p>
