I was trying to compare the performence between JSP/ASP with some benchmark tests, and when come across database benchs, there are something very interesting.
The JDBC driver provided by Microsoft (jar files dated around 4/19/2002) providedslower access time then SUN's JDBC-ODBC driver. Another one is, prepared statments runs slower on SQLServer when connected under SUN's JDBC-ODBC driver. The test system is a 128Mg AMD Duron 800, 20G of HD space. AT first JDBC-ODBC was not even considered in the test. After the test we were stunned by the bad performence of the MS JDBC driver (1/3 of the ASP ODBC) even when I used correct getXXX methods, prepared statments and connection polling. Since ASP uses ODBC with a COM wrapper, we dicided to give JDBC-ODBC a try and found JDBC-ODBC is the same speed as ASP/ODBC. I think the reason for the slow prepared statment is that it is not implemented in the buildin COM wrappers, so Microsoft just ignored it. The results and test script are available at: http://www.utdallas.edu/~gxz014000/websrv/bench/dataBench/dataBench.html For other bench marks: http://www.geocities.com/gzhangx/websrv/bench.html Hope the information is of some help Gang ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
