JDBC-Problem

IDS 9.40 UC3 / JDBC 2.21 Hi all, we have a very strange JDBC-Problem. We have a simple SELECT-Statment, something like SELECT first_name from adr where name = 'Huber'; Executing this statement via JDBC by using this code: ... Statement stmt = connection.createStatement(); stmt.executeQuery("SELECT first_name from adr where name = 'Huber'"); ... we get a result after a few milliseconds. In a loop of size 100, it takes 1.2 seconds. BUT: ===== Executing this statement via JDBC by using this code: ... PreparedStatement stmt = connection.prepareStatement(SELECT first_name from adr where name = ?"); stmt.setString(1, "Huber"); stmt.executeQuery(); ... we get a result after alittle more than 1 seconds. In a loop of size 100, it takes 100 seconds. It seems, that Informix has a problem using parameterized prepared-statements. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! bye Markus
