Subject Re: [IBO] Is IBX better than IBO when used threaded ?
Author Pelle F. S. Liljendal
As of now My test application is simply creating a number of "dummy
records" (random data), but the final version is going to do all
kind of data manipulations (adding, changing and deleteing data).

I have uploaded both the IBX and IBO versions of my testprogram, and
I am running it on a dual Xeon 2.4 GHz (somebody else suggested that
IBO has this problem in a Dual CPU environment). Both version
contains a backup of an empty database or the DLL for building my
test database. These 2 version can be found at:

http://www.liljendal.dk/files/DBThreadTestIBO2.zip and
http://www.liljendal.dk/files/DBThreadTestIBX.zip

Normally I am using IBO (for my unthreaded/GUI-enabled) applications
and I would naturally prefer to use IBO for my (comming) threaded
service. However if I using IBX can have 500 records a second and I
using IBO can only have 200 then IBX is going to be my choice (I am
hopeing I've just made a stuid error in the IBO version).
