Gentlemen;
I will be developing a web interface using MySQL or PostgreSQL. I have not
decided on the database.
I need your experts opinions and advices on the platform to use. I have read
a lot about Apache::Registry and CGI.pm. What is the best platform for
performance?? I need fast look ups to the database and fast responces to the
clients.
It is my understanding that Apache::Registry allows me to run CGI scripts
with out any modifications. Using this approach, Apache will load the script
into memory at startup. Whenever there is a request for that script, it is
already loaded and is executed on the fly with out the need to compile the
code. Great!
Is it also my understanding that a CGI script can be run as a deamon. Also,
the script is loaded into memory and, if a request comes in, there is not
need to compile the code since the script is already running.
Then, what is the best performance overall? Both approaches look very very
similar.
Thank you very much
Max Calvo
