How quickly can I get data from a query that has repeatedly many times I cry.

Example: 1000x call query
SELECT ID, Name, ...
FROM StoreCards
WHERE ID =: objid

The duration of the execution of queries on the SQL server (as measured using SQL Server Profiler)
SUM (Duration) = 91.595 ms (1000x query)
AVG (Duration) = 91us (1 query)

The duration of the execution of queries using the TMSQuery
3.02 seconds

The slowdown is caused by using DataSet in TMSQuery. Initialization takes a very long field in the dataset.
Is there a way to quickly get the data as there is a solution without using dataset TMSQuery?
TMSQuery only used for the sequential reading of rows of the outcome.
The data obtained in a real application, only TMSQuery overload in their own data structures.

Thank you for your advice.

The code is just a demonstration of need repeatedly to read data from a query prepare.

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
i: Integer;
t: Cardinal;
MSConnection1: TMSConnection;
MSQuery1: TMSQuery;
begin
MSConnection1 := TMSConnection.Create(nil);
MSConnection1.Database := 'FLORES';
MSConnection1.Username := 'sa';
MSConnection1.Password := 'xxx';
MSConnection1.Options.ApplicationName := 'test';
MSConnection1.ConvertEOL := False;
MSConnection1.Options.DefaultLockTimeout := 432000;
MSConnection1.Options.Provider := prNativeClient;
MSConnection1.Connect;
MSQuery1 := TMSQuery.Create(nil);
MSQuery1.ReadOnly := True;
MSQuery1.Connection := MSConnection1;
Memo1.Clear;
try
t := GetTickCount;
MSQuery1.SQL.Text := 'SELECT ID, Name, * FROM StoreCards WHERE ID = :OBJID';
MSQuery1.Params[0].AsString := '0LW0000101';
MSQuery1.Prepare;
Memo1.Lines.BeginUpdate;
for i := 0 to 999 do
begin
if i mod 2 = 0 then
MSQuery1.Params[0].AsString := '0LW0000101'
else
MSQuery1.Params[0].AsString := '0M70000101';
MSQuery1.Open;
if not MSQuery1.Eof then
Memo1.Lines.Add(MSQuery1.Fields[0].AsString + ' = ' + MSQuery1.Fields[1].AsString);
MSQuery1.Close;
end;
t := GetTickCount - t;
MSQuery1.Execute;
Memo1.Lines.Add(IntToStr(t));
Memo1.Lines.EndUpdate;
finally
MSConnection1.Disconnect;
end;
end;

You can speed up data obtaining by fetching more data at once. For example, you can use the following query:Also you can try to avoid using parameters. SQL Server executes queries that don't contain parameters faster. For example:

Hello,

Your answer does not correspond at all to my question.

I need to speed up repeated calls same SQL queries as shown in the demo program.
So to avoid slow re-initialize the dataset.

It is clear to me that I can read the records at once, but it does not solve the recall, which is very slow due to the initialization dataset.

How can I speed up repeated calls to the same SQL query?

As shown in the profile obtained using AqTime profiler.
Time to get data from TMSQuery is 2.76 seconds TMemDataSet: InternalOpen 2.66 seconds
Time in OLE DB is just TOLEDBRecordSet: InternalOpen 0.55 seconds.

How to eliminate slow dataset with repeated calls to the same query?

Thank you for your advice.

please respond. thank you

Thank you for information. We have reproduced this problem. This behaviour is connected with creating the TField and TFieldDef object on every dataset opening. We have fixed this problem for prepared datasets. This fix will be included in the next SDAC build.

Hello,

Please write me the version number, in which improvements will be done.

Thank you John Javůrek.

This fix will be available in the next SDAC version 6.1.1.

Hello,

When will those versions to download?

I do not know if your repair will solve my problem with the speed dataset used in TMSQuery.
There is some low-level access without using a dataset in TMSQuery?

Thank you for your answer.

We plan to release SDAC approximately in a month.
There is no low-level access to data in SDAC.

Does the 6.1 update contain this update from last week. You mentioned it being fixed in 6.1.1.

This fix is included in the latest SDAC version 6.1.3.

Hello

the problem is not fixed even in version 6.5.9 for Delphi 7

Starting already prepared query is still as slow.

Please repair and testing.

Thank Ing. Jan Javůrek.

I cannot reproduce this problem. Please try creating a small program that demonstrates this performance problem and send it to andreyz*devart*com . Also, please specify the following:
- the script to create your table;
- the exact version of SQL Server you are using. You can learn it from the Info sheet of TMSConnection Editor.
