Well in linux I use the CLI interface from php to run all my queries. I
read somewhere that the native CLI interface was faster than using the ODBC
driver. I have the ODBC driver working properly, I just wanted to know if
it was possible to use CLI with PHP in windows (like on Linux).
I guess I'll just stick with ODBC.
Thanks,
Chris Book

Actually, CLI is almost function-for-function the same as ODBC. The PHP
implementation of ODBC is quite a simplified version, but it covers most of
the basic function.
Chris, what is it that you are trying to do, specifically?
