Horribly slow on large database

[javed]

Hi,

We are using Devart DotConnect for Oracle to generate the entity classes for oracle.

we are querying data from a large oracle database having 9 million records using LINQ to Entities in a silverlight project.

we have a complex view created in the database which joins 7 tables to retrieve the records. When we run the oracle sql queries in the oracle sql developer to retrieve first 100 records it returns within 1 second but when we run the similar query using LINQ it did not return even after one hour. I am using Take(100) to retrieve the initial 100 records.

My query looks like this

Code: Select all

Entities1 bookingEntities = new CMSDataService(new Uri(((App)Application.Current).m_strServiceBaseUri + ClientDefs.strsvcCMSMultitableService));
query = (from c in bookinEntities.V_MYVIEW select c).Take(100);

var dsQuery = (System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceQuery<V_MYVIEW>)query;
dsQuery.BeginExecute(new AsyncCallback(c =>
{
IEnumerable<V_MYVIEW> result = dsQuery.EndExecute(c);
((App)Application.Current).ListBookingRecords = result.ToList();
}), dsQuery);         

The oracle query which gives instantaneous result in oracle Sql developer is

"select * from V_MYVIEW where rownum < 101"

Do I need to change some setting in the entity class. Or else what we are doing wrong?

No reply, does it mean devart has no solution???

Recommendations to improve Entity Framework performance:
1. Check the SSDL part of your model and make sure there are no any defining queries (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb738450.aspx). Otherwise, remove them.
2. A big model leads to very time-consuming first query in AppDomain because of view generation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc853327.aspx). This problem can be solved partially with view pregeneration (http://www.devart.com/entitydeveloper/large-models.html).
3. Please refer to the Performance Considerations (Entity Framework) article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc853327.aspx).
