The common problem is your "where" clause. Let's say your table has
1,000,000 rows. Your "where" clause returns only 1,000 rows. When ran on
the host you notice nothing. However, when ran on a client it still has
to pass each row down to the client for analysis. HUGE difference.
Multiple workarounds.
Run something like SQL2XLS to generate the excel spreadsheet on the IBM i.
Use a Scott Klement technique to generate Excel on IBM i.
Use Perl, etc.
Create a stored procedure on your IBM i that does the 'where' analysis.
Call the stored procedure from the client to get the result sets returned.
I saw a reply to something similar where there's some technique in ODBC to
have it do the 'where' processing on the host. At least that sounds
familiar.
