Re: Debugging ODBC application

I echo this Rob's sentiments. SP's have really helped performance for our
VB and VBA Apps.


Thanks,

Mark

You think that your visual basic person can understand stored procedures

Hello,

well, I'm still debugging this ODBC application. It is written/maintained
in VisualBasic by
another company and running on a Windows2000 server. It uses the Client
Access Express
ODBC driver.

We have heavy performance problems with this VB-app. With STRDBG and some
deep
digging I found that the app is doing a

          select * from vrosif where sistat='40' or sistat='41' or
sistat='43'

which returns about 1000 to 5000 records. In the QZDASOINIT joblog I see
several
thousand log entries like:

              1 record retrieved from vrosif.

Obviously, the VB-app does a fetch for every single record of the query.
This easily takes
30 seconds.

Doing the query manually through the tool SQLTHING I see  a few messages
like

             500 records retrieved from vrosif
             500 records retrieved from vrosif
             297 records retrieved from vrosif

This easily executes in 1-2 seconds!

I need to tell the VB-programmer how to achieve this (I have no knowledge
about VB and
ODBC programming).

Are there settings in the ODBC-driver for this record blocking or has this
to be programmed
in VB? Some sample lines of code would be nice..

Thanks in advance,

Oliver Wenzel
