Re: How does I-NET/ODBC behave over slow net conections?

The problem is not on the slow lines, but on the product. I-Net is not reliable. And ODBC over I-Net is even worse, given that you need to pass through an additional layer, the I-Net, in terms of performance and reliability. I would suggest you look at server-based ODBC products that talk directly to the database engine without the I-Net. Recently, I recommended 2 such products to our clients. They are OpenPath ODBC from Trilogy Intl, and OpenLink ODBC from OpenLink. Our clients seem to like Trilogy's OpenPath (www.openpath.com) better, though.
