The relatively poor performance of QZDASOINIT might be due to the client. Typically a database tool would not only need to retrieve the data, but it would also have to retrieve the table metadata to know the column data types. A CGI interface has no such requirement.

An apples-to-apples comparison would be, for example, a Java program that uses an HTTP client to consume the CGI program results and JDBC to consume an SQL result set. I suspect that comparison might come out just about even, but I don't have time to invest in backing that up with testing.

From: "Dean, Robert"
I'm actually reserving judgment. I'd like a little more detail on the tests.
Based on the descriptions Nathan's provided, I have a concern that it
might not be an apples-to-apples comparison.


I tried to make it clear that I wasn't testing calls to XMLSERVICE procedures or comparing its CGI interface vs. its QZDASOINIT interface. I was just bench marking my own CGI interface vs. a QZDASOINIT interface for downloading SQL result sets to my browser, Visual Foxpro, and IBM i Navigator.

The CGI interface performs slightly better than the QZDASOINIT interface, in my benchmark.

So I question Alan's and Brian's performance "warnings" with respect to the XMLSERVICE CGI Interface.
