Christian,
Are you using an ODBC driver or just the unified-ODBC functions?
If a driver, then I suggest changing vendors - that performance is in no way
representative of ODBC in general.
In addition, to improve performance even more when using similar queries,
first use odbc_prepare to prepare a parameter-bound query and then use
odbc_execute to create the result set for specific parameter values.
You may wish to try our Multi-Tier drivers at http://www.openlinksw.com.
Multi-Tier UDA is exceptionally fast and secure, and downloads with a free,
non-expiring 2 user license.
In addition, free support is available at
http://www.openlinksw.com/support/suppindx.htm
Please let me know if you require assistance.

> Hi,

>
> For a relaunch of our existing production system running
> on IBM DB2 on serveral IBM RS/6000 servers we tested

> And what can I say: It's very slow. For example:

> takes about 6 until 10 seconds(!!!) when using PHP.
>
> In detail: Connecting to Database lasts about 0.01 - 0.05 seconds (so, 10

> sending the query (odbc_exec... ) lasts about the same time.
