Should the step "python src/mimic_data_extraction.py" be very slow?

[ruilialice]

Hi, when I run the script python src/mimic_data_extraction.py it works very slow, after 4 hours, it only processed about 170 visits, but the total number of visits is more than 20000, so I am wondering that whether it should be that slow or there is something wrong with my database constructed with postgres. Thanks.

You can try to run the data extraction for each variable in a parallel way. Basically, every curr.execute command in the code can be executed parallelly.
