Re: ESQL/C library functions - Any change from 5.x to 7.x

Actually, Dr. Spitz, we use the relay module (sqlrm) for exactly the purpose you described and we don't seem to be taking a "huge" performance hit. Mind you, I am not saying we couldn't improve performance by ridding ourselves of the need to use sqlrm, but we are not being forced to change. Richard Spitz wrote: } Art S.
