Recently I upgraded by SDAC 3.70 to 5.0.00.3. Now my application takes 2 or more minutes to open. In the old version my application opened in about 5 seconds. I have not changed anything in my application. I need help in resolving this issue. I am using Delphi 7 and MS SQL 2005.
Please help.

Hello,

Please try to find out what operations cause such time loss: connection opening, query execution, or table opening.

Posted: **Wed 22 Dec 2010 16:26**

There is one table that is opening very slow. It takes about 2 minutes. The same table in old version opened in 2 or 3 seconds. Please let me know what changes I have to do so that the table opens in 2 or 3 seconds like before.

With this new upgrade I am really dissappointed. It has slowed my whole app down.

Thanks

I could not reproduce the problem. Please send a script to create and fill a table to andreyz*devart*com.

If I create a new project then everything is fast. The problem is when I open my application created in SDAC version 3.70 in the new SDAC version 5.00.0.3 it is very slow. One of the table takes about 3 minutes to open which normally takes 5 sec when open in SDAC 3.70.

Please help. This slowness is creating a lot of problems from my upper management.

Thanks

Unfortunately, I still cannot reproduce the problem. To help you I need your script to create and fill a table. Also I need your options that you use in the TMSTable component. You can extract these options from the .dfm file as follows:

Code: Select all

  object MSTable: TMSTable
    TableName = 'dbo.test'
    Connection = MSConnection
    Left = 120
    Top = 40
  end

Please try the following:
1) set the tblSchedule.Options.CacheCalcFields option to True.
2) set the tblSchedule.Options.TrimFixedChar option to False.
If it doesn't help, remove all lookup fields from the tblSchedule table and check performance after it.

Posted: **Thu 30 Dec 2010 17:17**

After making the changes you recomended, my table still takes a long time to open. In the dbmonitor program it shows that it takes 61 seconds.

For now I deleted the tblSchedule table from my datamodule and created a new TMSQuery called qrySchedule and setup all the lookup fields. Now my query opens up in 1 or 2 seconds.

If I have to recreate all my tables in my project for the new SDAC version 5.00.0.3 than it is a big problem. You have to come up with some solution so that my old project works like before in the new version of SDAC without any modification.

Thanks

Unfortunately, I still cannot reproduce the problem. Please try composing a small sample to demonstrate the problem and send it to andreyz*devart*com.

Hi! Let me talk my experience.

I had similar problem several times in all versions of SDAC from 2.7 to now, but recreating of TMSQuery component doesn't affect.
Once TMSQuery had takes about 3-4min for SELECT-query, the same query in MS Management Studio takes about 2-5 sec.

I always could find decision. Here is several ways I can remember:
1. In some cases I find this occured because of TMSQuery put statements into Execute() proc, and there is a little chance runnig query away from Execute() may solve problem.
2. In some cases creating a stored proc on SQLServer for your query and getting results with using proc will solve problem.
3. In some cases (if SQL contains joins) TMSQuery using an incorrect ExecutionPlan (I don't no why), and adding hint "option (force order)" into SQL-statements solve problem.

I have no doubt that exist other problems and decisions. I'm get ready.

It's not really good to compare speed between a Table component and a query component..

I do agree that 2-3 minutes would be too long.
I noticed earlier in the thread that if you create everything from new, it works faster.
If thats a fact, there must be a difference between your existing tables, and new ones... Delphi has no way as to tell which is new and which is old.

I would try adding a table component (without deleting the existing one), set it up so it works faster.. Thats what I assume you can do according to earlier post.. And with the ViewAsText just compare the two...

You should spot a difference somewhere...

Hope it helps..

Best regards
