Hi, which one is the fastest: odbc or oci8? I use PHP 5 with IIS on Windows Server 2003 with Oracle 8 and 9 on several Alpha Servers with OpenVMS. Which one should I choose, odbc or oci8? Does oci8 works with Oracle 9i? For now I wrote my web applications with odbc support because the other apps at my job were usings that. But it's a bit slow and since I don't really know the difference I chose odbc... Any advice? Thanks a lot!
Use OCI8 it will be fastest. Specifically, use the refactored oci8 driver, which is not yet in the PHP 5 source bundle: http://netevil.org/node.php?uuid=431eeaf6-5744-8225-2552-31eeaf6e8506 The oci8 driver works with Oracle 8, 9 and 10.
Ok thanks I'll try that! -- Alain -- http://www.vivahate.org
