[DUG] MSSQL with D2007

[Peter Joint]

I'd be looking to make sure that the DB Server itself isn't the bottleneck here - quick and easy test, run the SQL select statement through Query Analyser (yuck!) and see what sort of response time you get.  Alternatively, (and shameless plug) download a copy of DBOptimizer from our website, point it at your server, and then get your application to hit the server and see where the bottleneck is.  DBOptimizer can also show you network issues if it's that, and can also highlight if your client is spamming a slow down message while it tries to digest the resultset.  The trial edition will give you all the results (it's evaluation time limited, not feature limited)

OR.....your DB server is just really slow :)
We use the TADO controls, but were possible, or where I am not being lazy, use non DB bound controls.
However I have heard the SDAC controls are meant to be pretty good as Kyley seems to back up. Just a bit expensive from Memory.

I should say there is something wrong with your ADO setup if it is taking that long for 7000 records, unless they are VERY big records.

7000 records of 2-4000 bytes each should be only a second or so (don't want to be more accurate in my estimate without testing, been a while since I paid much attention to data transfer times be honest!)

Been trying to connect to MSSQL 2005 with DB Express (TSQLConnection and TSQLQuery), but cannot get it to work, we are getting an access violation at address 017E0913  in DBXMSS30.DLL  read of address 01820000

Using instead ADO (TADOConnection and TADOQuery) works fine, but is slow - 7000 records takes 30-40 seconds to load.

The rest of the components the same  (ie TDatasetProvider, TCLientDataSet, TDatasource)  ie have been pointing the Datasetprovider at either the TADOQuery or the TSQLQuery

Also tried the TSimpleDataSet, has the same error as the first sentence.
All the queries allow me at design time to set active to true successfully, but still crash when the dataset is set to open....

Does anyone have any idea what could be going wrong?

And any recommendations of best combinations you prefer for MSSQL with D2007.   I am new to connecting D2007 to MSSQL so willing to do it whichever way works best.
