Hello,

I'm trying to figure out why simple queries are taking so long.  I have searched the forum and made changes to the DSN .. but i don't seem to notice any difference.  I'm using the trial version v8 with QB 2006 premiere.. a fresh company database and a simple query: select name from customer

There's only 1 customer in the table and it is taking about 10 seconds to return the results.  I've tried making optimizer changes, chunk size changes, iterator changes, QB open, QB closed, multi-user, single-user..

Is this a limitation of the qodbc trial?

Thanks,

Brian

Basically QODBC is spending most of the 10 seconds checking that you haven't added new customers. Try running:

Select * from Customer NOSYNC

for the 2 second answer.

Hi Tom,

Not much of a change.   Is there a best practice as far as keeping QB open or closed... single or multi-user..

It might be 1-2 seconds faster...   The application that I need to write to use QODBC doesn't really care about 'up to date' data.. so whatever gets me
the quickest result is the goal

Thanks

Brian

The best practice is to keep QuickBooks and the company file open on your desktop.... mine has been running for months. A first time connect will take longer, run the select statement four times and you will see the answer in less than 1 second.

I'm pulling transaction lists into SQL Server 2005 nightly. Typically tens of thousands of records that takes 2+ hours to run. Thinking about changing backend from QBPro 2005 to QBES 2008. Do you think this will speed up query performance dramatically? Should the change from the C-Index database to Sybase iAnywhere database make a big difference here?

Yes, upgrading from QuickBooks Pro to QuickBooks Enterprise does provide better performance in larger company files.
