<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Pierre,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks for answering my other questions. Just one more question, based on your answer to Alex.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I had a quick look in the Metcard archives and found this snippet:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">>></font>
<br><font size=3 face="Courier New"><i>put "" into DbAuteurs<br>
get shell("echo" && quote & "select distinct auteur__ from citations order by<br>
auteur__" && quote && "| psql -h localhost citalis")<br>
repeat for each line l in line 3 to -3 of it<br>
put word 1 to -1 of l & return after DbAuteurs<br>
end repeat<br>
<<</i></font>
<br><font size=3 face="Courier New">This is more or less how I imagined you were shelling out to the psql interpreter. Am I correct in thinking this is how you are invoking postgresql?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Courier New">I can understand Alex's disbelief in this regard. I share his understanding of how things are supposed to work using the combination the PHP Apache module, and persistent connections.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Courier New">One of my apps is running on Linux and querying Firebird via ODBC. All the queries have configurable debug parameters, so I can actually change the parameter to time each step of the process. So I can isolate how long that app takes to connect and return a result set.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Courier New">I will see if I can find some details on running Rev 2.01 as a command line application, and I will try to find some time next week to compare the speed of the two methods.</font>

Hum... It's, even for you, freely, available on the Metacard archive<br>
list.<br>

Did you learn a little (aka lots) about WebSphere Weblogic or WebObjects<br>
before. Have you any idea about how applications servers works...<br>

Perhaps are you too sure of you about how unixes are handeling multiples<br>
processes tasks. Did you ever watch at the processor idle average time<br>
of a linux box ? To the end, you are not alone to think so... even if <br>
my clients are, probably, not only too rich and stupid persons...<br>

Did you ever ask you about the difference it makes to use real<br>
application server instead of just including sql replies in web forms ?<br>
