Re: Apache Web Server to Informix

Stability - quit good as long as you test your program carefully before you put it out for public access. Performance - Technically, it is slow because it is interpret language, but when you take into the account that network connection, database connection etc, it may become insignificant when there is not much traffic. But once you talk about million hits, that is different story. Support - You have to rely on your developers, Perl and DBI are GNU stuff, no formal support. But since you are starting this from beginning, why not take a look at some serious tools. BTW, the following combination will be fun too : Browser -> apache -> servlet -> JDBC -> Informix Jeff So. ]Steve Berg wrote: > > We currently run an Apache Web Server on our Sequent.
