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

My experince is that AS/400 can scale very much. I have found a big
difference between RPG and PHP, PHP is a lot slower than RPG, even using
db2 SQL.

The strategy with RPG is to use the right tool, for some tasks SQL is
better, in others native.

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.
