3.6) What is the exact difference between binary cursors and normal cursors?
|
3.6) What is the exact difference between binary cursors and normal cursors?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Normal cursors return data back in ASCII format. Since data is stored
|
See the declare manual page for a description.
|
||||||
natively in binary format, the system must do a conversion to produce
|
|
||||||
the ASCII format. In addition, ASCII formats are often large in size
|
|
||||||
than binary format. Once the attributes come back in ASCII, often the
|
|
||||||
client application then has to convert it to a binary format to
|
|
||||||
manipulate it anyway.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Binary cursors give you back the data in the native binary
|
|
||||||
representation. Thus, binary cursors will tend to be a little faster
|
|
||||||
since there's less overhead of conversion.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
However, ASCII is architectural neutral whereas binary representation
|
|
||||||
can differ between different machine architecture. Thus, if your
|
|
||||||
client machine uses a different representation than you server
|
|
||||||
machine, getting back attributes in binary format is probably not what
|
|
||||||
you want. Also, if your main purpose is displaying the data in ASCII,
|
|
||||||
then getting it back in ASCII will save you some effort on the client
|
|
||||||
side.
