Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: ibm_db node module and IBM Data Server Driver

Kelly - I have to ask - when you say CGI, just what do you mean? CGIDEV2 as implemented on IBM i, or the general meaning of CGI as "common gateway interface"?

So far as I know, everything that writes interactive apps to the web is using CGI in the latter sense. PHP, ASP.Net, classic ASP, CGIDEV2, the CGI APIs on IBM i, they all generate a text stream with the various CGI operations (whatever they're to be called).

So I'm just looking for some clarification, if you please!!

I doubt that node runs better on other servers than on the IBM i.

I was thinking this:

1. Node has better performance than CGI under conditions of very high concurrency.

2. Because of how node was ported to IBM i, it performs no better than CGI.

3. Therefore, to get the best performance with node, run it on servers other than IBM i.

I actually suspect that #2 above is false. That would mean #3 does not follow. But if #1 and #2 above are true, then, to my mind, #3 makes sense.
