I'm reevaluating using IBQuery vs IBStoredProc components to access these. I know how to use each. But does anyone have any idea of the relative benefits or performance of one versus the other? Is IBQuery smaller, simpler and faster than IBStoredProc, as I suspect? Does it make much difference? 5% or 50%? Is it worth my time to consider this? I've re-read the documentation a couple of times, but it's not clear to say the least. There are a couple of statements where one is "preferred", but it doesn't say why or by who. It describes each as being able to do almost everything, complete with examples. -- Patrick Moloney Back to top Craig Stuntz [TeamB] Guest Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2007 8:49 pm    Post subject: Re: Compare IBQuery and IBStoredProc Patrick Moloney wrote: Quote: Is IBQuery smaller, simpler and faster than IBStoredProc, as I suspect?

I haven't profiled, but I suspect the performance will be close to identical, at least in comparison to actually running the proc. To me the question comes down to which interface you prefer as a programmer. -- Craig Stuntz [TeamB] · Vertex Systems Corp. · Columbus, OH Delphi/InterBase Weblog : http://blogs.teamb.com/craigstuntz Everything You Need to Know About InterBase Character Sets: http://blogs.teamb.com/craigstuntz/articles/403.aspx Back to top Wayne Niddery [TeamB] Guest Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2007 9:39 pm    Post subject: Re: Compare IBQuery and IBStoredProc Patrick Moloney wrote: Quote: I use primarily Interbase stored procedures.

As Craig says, its doubtful there is any significant performance difference between these two. The reason for using a query component over a TStoredProc component for me is simply whether the stored proc is selectable or not (returns a result *set*) - in which case I use a query component. For myself, I never use TQuery though, I choose between TIBDataset and TIBSQL. If you do not need to use data-aware controls linked to the result set then TIBSQL has less overhead and should give you a little better performance. -- Wayne Niddery - Winwright, Inc (www.winwright.ca) "We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare.

I've tried to keep as much of the code in the database as possible, so we have a lot of stored procedures. My preference has been to use TIBStoredProcs. Some people who have written some of the code preferred IBQuerys, but sometimes I find code in there that I would rather have in the server - or coded queries when we have a stored proc to get that data. So, we don't see the dependency. I didn't think a user would be able to tell the difference in performance, although I wondered about size. I'm much more interested in how easily the code can be understood and supported. I like the SP component because it doesn't add any code. I never use TIBDataset, (thought it would be too virtual), or TIBSql, which I've thought about. Just not clear on "linked data controls". Even with Q or SP components I transfer the data in code, so I wouldn't consider them linked. About the only place I use Query components is on forms that return a list of records to display. I put something into QC this weekend about documentation on this in the Developer Guide. Maybe that should just straight-forward describe how to use each component and delete the unsupported comments about which is "Preferred" for what - except maybe, as you said, personal preference.
