Hi,

I have an Informix SE installed on a server. The OS is SuSE Linux 7.2 .
I looked into the configuration and noticed that no daemon is running. The configuration in the sqlhosts is the following:
The perl DBI-module does work correctly, but I do not understand exactly how it can work efficiently without the daemon.
I think I can not get high-performance without a working daemon or I am wrong? Should I change the access by the perl module to use the daemon for better performance?

I am very thankful for any kind of hints.

hi torrud!

your nettype is seipcpip.
splitted into:
database server product -> se
interface type -> ipc
network protocal -> pip

ifx se server manual: "The ipc represents a UNIX-based interprocess communication (IPC)
connection that is used only for local loopback connections."

therefore no daemon is needed to run for the perl modules,
because they´re using the local loopback.

ifx se server manual:"When you use unnamed pipes, the servicename field must contain the name
of the SE executable file, distributed as sqlexec."

but i dont know how efficient such unnamed pipes are working, so
thats just some infos for the beginning
