Web programming 101 question

["Paul Nelson" <nelsonp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have managed to build a monster SQL view over a bunch of JD Edwards files.
The purpose is to access this view via an ODBC connection being used by a
web program.

When the first request from a user comes through, the results come back in
about five minutes, but thereafter, the retrieval is very quick.
Unfortunately, this happens for each user.

My request is this: I'm looking for suggestions for a way to have some
program either in the System i or in the web server get the file to open and
then keep it open until the end of the processing day.

For the old timers on the list, the best example I can think of is the
NEP-MRT technique used on the S/36 platform.

Thanks
