Surprising, isn't it? I remember Maarten or someone else stating similar
measures some time ago .... I wonder what technique does Command's MySQL
uses. But - except for security and maybe ODBC, there is not much value
in investing into Command nowadays .... Our company did so, because we
need ODBC and it works very well for us, but FastCGI (under Windows) is
half-functional and mySQL performance reported as being worse than even
Doc's script-only solution. What is more, Doc adds PostGress driver and
if he would not want to "hurt" RT, we would have even proper FastCGI stack.
Maybe SoftInnov should be contracted to program/strenghten some
Command's "connectors" :-)
