[FX.php List] Connecting PHP Web Pages with ODBC

[Ernest Cunningham]

I have not done any FileMaker work in a while (since FMP9) but I still read this mailing list.

Anyway, this shocked me. I have never had record creation via FX.php take multiple seconds per record created.
Through both good database design and good layout design it should never take that long.
Are the layouts you are using optimised for the task only? Only the fields you need and no related data should be on screen.

I do not recommend the FileMaker-created ODBC drivers from FileMaker discs prior to version 11 – these also have some pretty terrible speed problems.
