From what I've been able to discover, the regular Zend PHP only
accesses a database via ODBC which is not very efficient.
With i5-PHP you can use either the ODBC API, or the DB2 API. Some people will
choose the ODBC because they want their applications to interface with
databases such as mySQL, MS SQL Server, and Oracle, as well as DB2. Other
people will choose the DB2 interface for improved performance.
If you choose the ODBC interface, the PHP application will connect to the
QZDASOINIT jobs using a socket. If you choose the DB2 interface, the PHP
application will connect to DB2 using the DB2 CLI interface, which is said to
be more efficient. The API syntax is different, however.
