Can someone take a look into this issue and let us know what we should need to do to resolve the performance issue of ibm_db

@KalyanMolakalapalli I think you observe more time consumption for large data because nodejs need to store all data in memory as an object and then return to the caller. To avoid it, you can try prepare, execute and then fetch() in a loop as in the example of fetchSync() API here

Also, to avoid buffering of data in nodejs memory, you can use queryStream() API in your program as used in test-queryStream.js test file. Try these methods and let me know your observations. Thanks.

thankyou @bimaljha will work on the above solutions.
