[Dbi-interbase-devel] connection methods..

[swade <sw...@di...>]

I just have a ?. Using perl/dbi i can connect to IB via tcpip. Is there any
advantage/disadvantage to using the dbi proxy? When I switched to IB I
noticed I didn't need dbi proxy as when I was using oracle..

I guess my question is this (sample setup)
IB DB --nic1 --- hub--- clients
[_____nic2 ---- ibport (for when I'm at home)

Clients to IB db is fast. I noticed that since switching to IB that running
a test script from home the perl/dbi connection is *very* slow as in 20
seconds for one record as opposed to when I was using oracle with dbiproxy
and connecting from home. Likewise IBConsole is much faster than a perl
script on my test box at home. Should I try dbiproxy? kinda like the ease of
IB tcpip...nothing else to mess with but development at
home is rather trying.

Sorry if this is a dumb question...thanks!
