Database access as service pgm or bind by copy? -- RPG400-L

We're trying to decide what is the best route to go with our database 'server' programs. Do we create them as a service program or do we bind them by copy to each program that uses them.

We've read many places that service programs should be used for common utilities and routines that many programs or applications use. Bind by copy should be reserved for modules that perform lower-level routines within a larger program but are not shared among many programs or applications. Okay, that said, what category does a database 'server' program fall into. My guess is that the answer will be.......'it depends'.

Any suggestion or comments would be very welcome!

TIA
