Richard,

You are not "saddled" with using Zend Server for any part of XMLSERVICE. You can use the CGI interface or the stored procedure interface without ZS. The stored procedure interface that Zend Server uses is available via any method of DB connection (ODBC, JDBC, etc).

Also, the other reason the stored procedure method is faster is because, if I remember correctly, the CGI program is just calling the stored procedures anyway. :)

Don't want to be saddled with needing to use the Zend Server or PHP just to use XMLSERVICE for database and program/command access.

XMLCGI appears to allow me to use standard Apache CGI with no extras.

The SQL database access in XMLCGI is pretty cool and works well. I am wrapping the resulting data in to .Net consumable recordsets.

Richard,

The warnings about XMLCGI are for performance. There's nothing wrong with XMLCGI, but since XMLCGI communicates via a web server and CGI jobs, it probably won't be as fast as calling XMLSERVICE with stored procedures, such as through the ibm_db2 or odbc transports, which is what we do in the PHP toolkit.

Could you explain what you meant about Zend Server and database access?
XMLSERVICE does have some database capabilities but it's mainly focused on program calls, commands, etc.

Alan
