RE: CVS Account Request: cleong

Hi Andi, ASP.NET is using OLEDB, as well, and in my experiences this does not add to much penalty to communicating with MSSQL (however obviously more exhaustive performance tests are required). However I am wondering whether the OLEDB way would still work on non-Windows PHP versions? If not: Having two compatible, but internally completely different MSSQL extensions for win32 and non-win32 sounds dangerous to me. --Christian

Hi Chung, Any idea on the performance of OLEDB? My understanding was that due to it going through the COM layer, performance will be relatively poor. Any idea?

The extension provides the same set of functions as mssql, but uses OLEDB to talk to SQLServer instead of DBLIB. It allows users to retrieve varchar column wider than 255 and also Unicode columns as UTF-8.
