Should I Use Live Connection?

You can use Live Connection in CGI, FastCGI, or API mode to communicate with your database. In addition, you might benefit from Live Connection if your application requires data from multiple databases.

Live Connection, used together with an API plug-in, improves performance for many systems, depending on their load and configuration. You should experiment with your own system to determine the configuration that works best for you.

Many applications can improve performance without using Live Connection by using the ACTIVATE DATABASE command to save time establishing database connections. See your database's documentation for details on the command your database uses. Also check your operating system's documentation to see if there are additional steps to help improve performance.

Requirement: The ODBC and Oracle language environments require Live Connection when running in FastCGI and API modes.
