Hi,

I saw many threads talking about improving client<->server data
transfer protocol with batch/blocks statements. Nowadays, I did a test
with FB 1.5 and Sql Server 200 in a WAN case. Both had used ODBC
driver to connect to same server and line. The difference is far won
by Sql Server. Why this huge difference? Will new realeases of
Firebird with batch/block staments improve network performance?

I'd love firebird but I can't deploy huge wan client/server apps if
this difference is so high. In a LAN, firebird is very suitable and
some apps made run as quickly as sql server. But if network traffic
wold be improve, then firebird will overcome sql server, I'm sure.


Keep up the good work!
Julian.
