Re: UTL_FILE vs PRO*C/C++

Hi Patrick,

I would expect UTL_FILE interface to be marginally slower that C++ file handling, but first have you checked which aspect is slow.

If the bottle neck is in the data retreival then moving the same into ProC will probably produce the same result.

The other question would be how supportable would a C++ alternative be and would it need supporting after the event. ie is there a case for server side code over and above the performance.
