Specifically which I should use and why. I posted here a while back about getting started and got a reply that showed i5_ functions. I coded some pages with them that worked great. Then later I heard about db2_ functions. Just wondering if I'm missing out on anything other than portability which doesn't interest me. (My data is on System i; my php is on System i; no need to change that.) I thought I read somewhere about db2_ functions being more efficient, but that could have been a rumor. I don't get consistent times on my pages, so a parallel test didn't seem worth the effort.

i5_fetch_array sounds just like db2_fetch_assoc
