Re: XMLSERVICE with .Net

Also it is very common for database connections to be expensive and hence
usually pooled. This automatically makes clients more complex.

Would such pooling improve the numbers?

The relatively poor performance of QZDASOINIT might be due to the client.
Typically a database tool would not only need to retrieve the data, but it
would also have to retrieve the table metadata to know the column data
types. A CGI interface has no such requirement.

An apples-to-apples comparison would be, for example, a Java program that
uses an HTTP client to consume the CGI program results and JDBC to consume
an SQL result set. I suspect that comparison might come out just about
even, but I don't have time to invest in backing that up with testing.

I'm actually reserving judgment. I'd like a little more detail on the

tests.

Based on the descriptions Nathan's provided, I have a concern that it
might not be an apples-to-apples comparison.

I tried to make it clear that I wasn't testing calls to XMLSERVICE
procedures or comparing its CGI interface vs. its QZDASOINIT interface. I
was just bench marking my own CGI interface vs. a QZDASOINIT interface for
downloading SQL result sets to my browser, Visual Foxpro, and IBM i
Navigator.

The CGI interface performs slightly better than the QZDASOINIT interface, in
my benchmark.

So I question Alan's and Brian's performance "warnings" with respect to the
XMLSERVICE CGI Interface.
