The standalone Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge server is much faster at accepting connections than a server started with inetd
. If you're making multiple connections to an ODBC-ODBC Bridge server, starting it standalone (without inetd
) is preferable. The ODBC-ODBC Bridge HTTP server is only available when the ODBC-ODBC Bridge server runs standalone.
The inetd
method has one advantage: if the server crashes for any reason, future connections will still succeed without you having to restart the server.
