Optimized message transfers

IBM® Informix® ESQL/C provides a feature called optimized message transfers, which allow you to minimize message transfers with the database server for most Informix ESQL/C statements.

Informix ESQL/C accomplishes optimized message transfers by chaining messages together and even eliminating some small message packets. When the optimized message transfer feature is enabled, Informix ESQL/C expects that SQL statements will succeed. Consequently, Informix ESQL/C chains, and in some cases eliminates, confirmation messages from the database server.
