Re: Does anybody has developed a critical application using PB 4-5 and Informix 7.2 with SUCESS????

How are you calling the stored procedures ? The August 1996 issue of PBDJ there is a story on performance tuning, specifically with Stored procedures. It states that by using the RPCFUNC keyword to call stored procedures (instead of DECLARE, EXECUTE, FETCH, CLOSE) you will get better performance. I quote, "It turned out that ROCFUNC was consistently four times faster over the network than the DECLARE PROCEDURE syntax when executing the same stored procedure on the database."
