Performance architecture of the ODBC driver

For the IBM® i Access ODBC driver, all of the internal data flows between the client and the server are chained together, and transmitted only when needed.

This reduces server utilization because communications-layer resources are allocated only once. Response times improve correspondingly.

These types of enhancements are transparent to the user. However, there are some enhancements which are configurable on the IBM i Access ODBC Setup dialog. Look at the online help on the Performance tab of the setup GUI or refer to the Performance options on the Connection String keywords descriptions for more information.
