Re: Difference between AS/400 and any normal web server

[Steve Richter <stephenrichter@xxxxxxxxx>]

No difference regarding PHP on IBM i or a Linux server.  ( thanks to Calvin
)

DB2 is a bit of a headache in that column names are all upper case when
they are brought into Javascript via a fetch from an SQL result set.  Which
is not the case with MySQL on a PC server.

DB2 is awesome once you get away from RPG record i/o and use SQL functions,
procedures, assign default values to columns, SQL views, procedures which
return result sets, ...

Biggest difference between IBM i and a PC web server is performance. IBM i
just does not scale well. A web page will work great when you demo it to
the user. But a single core power 8 can get bogged down by web code and the
SQL that serves results sets to the web pages. When that happens, code that
worked now fails with timeout messages.
