  • Database performance comparisons on IBM i

    Testing performance of RLA in the IBM Java Toolbox against JDBC and native I/O for the AS/400 revealed that RPG on System i is the most efficient language, and DB2 is taken for granted. Joe Pluta built some benchmarks to compare different aspects of database performance to one another and he provides the results of his testing. Although MySQL is popular and provides an option for prepackaged applications with less stringent database requirements, it won't likely replace DB2 anytime soon.Tip
