I have a client that uses a web server running on IIS (NT Server) that pulls data from the AS/400 via SQL calls. The SQL commands are created dynamically depending on which of their customers is logged in, what items they wish to perform a stock check on, etc. Everything is working well, but they would like to speed up the response time. We have one bottle neck (due to budget requirements) of a dual-channel ISDN line (i.e. 128K) connecting the web server to their ISP. However, I think that we can speed up the process between the NT server and AS/400. The results of the SQL calls are usually 200 - 300 rows.

I have two questions. First, I would think this scenario would lend itself to stored procedures. However, I have not ever personally used them, so can anyone suggest where I might find some good info? Second, does anyone know of any new database functionality in V5R1 that I should investigate using here? (They are going to be upgrading in the next couple of months.)

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
