We have several people accessing the SQL server 7.0 data thru' MS Access Server has been slow on queries etc.Everything looks good,other than this one finding of MS Access being used for update/select. Is MS Access a potential problem? How to solve the problem of slow response time?
Note: MS Access is running on the client desktops retrieving data from SQL Server and joining data from MS Access to SQL Server.
I have 25+ WinXP SP2 workstations on a Novell file server (Novell login) and also have a W2K SQL 2000 Server for our database. We are usint Win NT authentication to the SQL Server.
One AND ONLY ONE user is having trouble with this setup. Her workstation is PAINFULLY slow accessing the SQL server through my Delphi programs, through our third party programs, and through ODBC connections.
I thought it was her workstation until I configured a clean workstation for her, and it too had the same problem. I then took a brand new Dell 9200 workstation with 2gb memory, gigabit NIC, etc. and configured it to use our servers. It too had the same slowness connecting to the SQL server. Everything else is fast.
I deleted her entry in the NT domain users table, and re-entered her. No help.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Hi
Here is the brief to my problemWe had our database on SQL Server 2000 and Windows 2000.This machine
had 2gb of RAM and dual Penitum 3 processors and about 25-30 users were
connected all the time. The size of database is around 2 gb. Even on this setup
rate of data retrival was good, never had any issues. We moved to SQL Server 2005 and Windows 2003. This machines has
2 Pentium Xeon 3.4 processors and 2 stick of KINGSTON 1024 MB 333
MHZ DDR DIMM ECC CL2.5 DUAL RANK X4 INTEL. The rate of data
retrival is awful and its very slow. It using about 1.7 to 1.9 gb of RAM all the
time. Page File usage is about 2.07 gb and Virtual Usage is about 1.7gb.I dont quiet understand why is it so slow to get data. We use bespoke software,
so nothing has changed there. Hardware specification of our server is far more better then the recommended
system requirement for SQL Server 2005.Am i missing something out or i havent set up the SQL Server properly? Any help would really be appreciated.Mits
Hi,
first time poster/newbie here.
I've
got a football (soccer for the yanks!) predictions league website that
is driven by and Access database. It basically calculates points
scored for a user getting certain predictions correct. This is the URL:
http://www.pool-predictions.co.uk/home/index.asp
There
are two sections of the site however that have almost ground to halt
now that more users have registered throught the season. The players
section and league table section have gone progressively slower to load
throughout the year and almost taking 2 minutes to load.
http://www.pool-predictions.co.uk/home/players.asp?tab=a_d
http://www.pool-predictions.co.uk/home/table.asp
All
the calculations are performed in the Access database Ive written and
there are Access SQL queries to get the data out.
My
question is, is how can I speed the bloody thing up! ! Somone has
alos suggested to me that I use stored procedures and SQL Server to
speed things up? Ive never used SQL Server before so I am bit scared
about using it (Im only a hobbyist), and I dont even know what a SP is
or does. How easy will it be upgrading the whole thing to SQL Server
and will it be worth the hassle, bearing in mind I expect my userbase
to keep growing? Do SP help speed things up significantly? Would
appreciate some advice!
Thanks in advance,
John.

How can i Fix this issue?
I am using two almost idential laptops, one with XP and one with Vista, the only differences is that the XP laptop has 1G of RAM and running Office XP and the Vista has 2G RAM and is running Office 2007.
I have a MS Access database that has linked tables to a SQL Server 2000 database. The performance of the Access database on Vista is 5-10 times slower on the Vista machine. Just flipping through records or opening forms can take 5 - 15 seconds on the Vista machine while the XP machine takes 1 sec or less.
What gives? I looked at the CPU performance and the network performance while the Access database was busy flipping through records, the network traffic was < 2% and the CPU would spike to 40% on one of the CPUs (dual core) but would remain under 5% most of the time.
I also previously had Office XP installed on the Vista machine and it had the same performance issue so bought and install Office 2007 on the Vista machine and it did not solve the problem.
It seems that Vista is doing something that is slowing down Access with linked tables. Is this a issue between Vista and using an ODBC connection to SQL Server?
Thanks in advance for any help on this

Our web forms have suddenly become dead slow.We use these forms to update certain tables.Both web serever and db servers are on different boxes. Db server seems to be working fine with no blocking and all other scheduled jobs are running in time on the db server.So what could be the reason??We even increased the default time out for these web forms but still getting the slow response or some times time out again.

Hi,
I have SQLServer 6.5 SP5a update running on Windows NT 4.0 SP6
with 4 gig RAM and 4 processor.
Suddenly the SQL 6.5 jobs running on the production server started running very very slow. A job that suppose to run in 30 minutes are running like 2 hours and completing successfully.
(I suspect the after the Norton Anti virus automatic live update may be the reason but not the Second Vulnerability as mentioned by Microsoft Bulletin last week)
I check the SQLServer, ran the performance monitor, checked pagefiles, disk space, databases,memory, tempdb. Everything seems to be normal.
I rebooted the server, checked any other process making that slow. But no use.
Please help me out with this issue as this is a production and the CRM applications from the clients uses the database server.
Thanks in advance,
Anu
Hello everybody I need to a solution to my problem asap.
My problem is that i have a sql server 2005 script which is working fine and returning me the correct query. However the same script in access does not return the required query.
The Sql server script is as follows:
UPDATE Transactions
SET Transactions.EndProductDescription = TB.EndDescription
FROM Transactions INNER JOIN
(SELECT Distinct EndDescription, ProdBatchNo
FROM
((SELECT EndProductCode
FROM EndProduct
WHERE (Product1 IN
(SELECT ProductCode
FROM Transactions
WHERE (ProdBatchNo = '06122007/000002')))) AS TB1 INNER JOIN
(SELECT EndProductCode
FROM EndProduct
WHERE (Product2 IN
(SELECT ProductCode
FROM Transactions
WHERE (ProdBatchNo = '06122007/000002')))) AS TB2 ON TB1.EndProductCode = TB2.EndProductCode) INNER JOIN
(SELECT EndProductCode, EndDescription, ProdBatchNo
FROM EndProduct, Transactions
WHERE (ProdBatchNo = '06122007/000002') AND (Product3 IN
(SELECT ProductCode
FROM Transactions
WHERE (ProdBatchNo = '06122007/000002')))) AS TB3 ON TB2.EndProductCode = TB3.EndProductCode) AS TB ON Transactions.ProdBatchNo = TB.ProdBatchNo WHERE Transactions.EndProductDescription = ''
So when i put this query in access same as it is i do not obtain the required results. Can someone please help me urgently on converting the above sql script into access query?
Hello,
I am facing a huge problem in my sql server database using access as a front end.The main problem is trying to execute queries "views" ,since they reside on sql server now,and using variables or parameters in reports and forms to filter on this query.
Ex.
how can the following be implemented using the same query but in sql server?
Access
------
SELECT MAT_Charts.YYYYMM
FROM MAT_Charts
WHERE ((([Area_Code] & "-" & [GROUP_CODE])=[Reports]![MAT_Chart_C1].[MAT_Key]))
GROUP BY MAT_Charts.YYYYMM;
It is specifically this statement in which I am interested:
[GROUP_CODE])=[Reports]![MAT_Chart_C1].[MAT_Key]))
Thank you very much for your concern.

I have a access database, the data store in another server. This noon, one of our user is runing the access database too slow. Open the database and search the data, etc. It took a long time to come out, Any body has experience on it, why, we had etrust install on each user machine, is that cause this too slow?

Hii,
A bit new to SQL 2k5 but here goes, I recently installed SQL 2k5 on a preety decent box with about 4GB Ram and created a database called PointOfSale. As probably obvious by now, the application that accesses the Database is a PointOfSale application.
The store sells ladies clothing items, of which each is barcoded.
When an item is scanned via the barcode reader into the application, it takes like about 10-15 seconds for the item information to appear. Of course the item information resides on the database.
There are three registers and the same thing happens on all. I am running sp 2 for sql2k5 already.
Any thing I can do that would reduce the 15 sec delay significantly?
Any help at all would be appreciated immensley.
Regards,
Burt.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a stored procedure which creates 3 temporary tables. Every table is about ten rows and 25 columns. The inserts in the tables goes fast (< 30 ms). The selects from them is also that fast. BUT the first select takes about 3200 ms one each of the temptables. (I first do insert, then select from them.) So the SP executes at about 13 seconds instead of 3.
Any suggestions, anyone, please?
Hi,
I have migrated my app from VB to VB.Net. A 3-tier app with remoting and COM+.
I am experiencing a long wait time of about 3 times higher than what it would take in the VB App.
I am using DataAdapter.FiLL method to fill the datatable.
I have tried.
Using DataReader ( Made the things worse )
Using BeginLoadData and EndLoadData
Creating a Dataset and calling fill with the dataset so that the round trip to the middletier is saved to bring the SQL.
But i feel now that whatever is done. the problem is with the fill method only?
Is there any alternative?
Please suggest. It is one of the most important thing which if not possible may lead to scrapping up idea of upgrading to .Net.

We have an issue with accessing SQL Server 2000 where the access of data from the database is slow unless the user is logged in as an administrator to their computer.
The system is as follows: SQL Server 2000 on a W2K server. Users logging into a Win 2003 domain server. Users using W2K on their workstations. Application is VB.NET using the Enterprise Library Data Block, connection pooling ON, and windows authentication.
We are assuming that the issue is down to one of authentication and that when a user is set as an administrator then they have instant access. We have been able to replicate the issue using just SQL server on a W2K workstation and accessing from another W2K workstation. Again data access is way slow unless the account is an administrator.
Glad of any ideas folks!
Kind Regards

I have an import process that adds appx 980 rows of data to this table and numerous rows to several other tables as part of a transaction and it ran in about 15 seconds.
However we suffered a server failure and it had to be rebuilt (Svr2k3), SQL 2000 re-installed (with default options) and the data base restored.
The same transaction is now taking 8 to 9 minutes.
I tracked it down to this particular table. Just doing a count(*) takes over 5 minutes. Select * where ID = 1 takes over 5 mins. Also, whenever the table is accessed you can hear the server thrashing the disks. Other tables, although smaller do not seem to be suffering from this masive performance drop..
I've tried droping and recreating the index. I have even created a copy of the table, with index, and still get the same issue with speed.

I've noticed that after the database have been idle for some time, it takes up to 10 seconds to get it started when something needs to access it. In the event viewer it says that the database <name> have been started.
Obviously, there is some idle timeout setting.
I saw an option in the database properties that is called "Auto Close" which is set to true. I assume this is what i'm looking for. Can someone confirm that? (it could take some time to test myself...)
But what i'm actually wondering is:
1. Is it possible to adjust how long it would wait before timing out?
2. What advantages does closing the database bring? Does it free up (a noticeable amount of) ressources? Or is it only that it's unlocking the files, so that it's possible to copy the database source files?
I have an Access2000 ADP that I want to run under Access2007. The problem I have is that some forms take up to 45 seconds to open in Access2007! These are not complicated forms--just simple navigable reference forms like setting up transaction types etc. that are based on basic select statements like:
SELECT * FROM ArReceivableType
Where ArReceivableType is a reference table (less than 10 columns, all int or nvarchar(100) max) containing about 15 or 20 rows. They open instantly in Access2000.
I put a trace on to see what is happening on the SQL Server, and I noticed heaps of nasty code like this that generates tens of thousands of reads:
select object_name(sotblfk.id), user_name(sotblfk.uid), object_name(sotblrk.id), user_name(sotblrk.uid) from sysreferences srfk, sysobjects sofk, sysobjects sotblfk, sysobjects sotblrk where srfk.constid = sofk.id and srfk.fkeyid = sotblfk.id and srfk.rkeyid = sotblrk.id and user_name(sofk.uid) = N'dbo' and object_name(sofk.id) = N'FK_FaAssetTransactionWork_ArReceivableType_ArReceivableTypeId'
It looks like Access2007 is reading all of the constraints for the underlying table, including all foreign keys. My SQL database contains 1400+ tables all with properly constructed foreign keys and other constraints.
Any suggestion on how to NOT have Access2007 do this? Right now, Access2000 works great for this enterprise app, but I really like the new Access2007 features (and I don't want to still be developing Access2000 apps in 2010).
One of our developers has a Microsoft Access 2000 database that runs queries that compare the Access db data to a SQL Server database. He uses pass through queries to get the data from SQL Server.
We're finding that the Access query runs quickly against our test server, even with copies of production data, but when we try the same query against our production server, the CPU on the local computer running Access is pegged and the query takes up to 10 minutes to run.
First I verified that the SQL Server structures between test and production were identical, including indexes. I checked index fragmentation, and productions indexes are less fragmented than tests. Again, test and production currently have the identical data.
I've run a profiler trace on our production SQL Server 2000 server, and I see the RPC for the query from Access running almost instantaneously.
Any ideas on what might be the cause of the difference in speed between test and production SQL Server servers, or any suggestions on other things I could look at/tools I could use to troubleshoot this issue further?
Hello,
In a Data Flow Task, I have an insert that occurs into a SQL Server 2000 table from a fixed width flat file. The SQL Server table that the data goes into is accessed through an OLE DB connection manager that uses the Native OLE DBMicrosoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server.
In the OLE DB Destination, I changed the access mode from Table or View - fast load to Table or View because I needed to implement OLE DB Destination Error Output. The Error output goes to a SQL Server 2000 table that uses the same connection manager.
The OLE DB Destination Editor Error Output 'Error' option is configured to 'Redirect' the row. 'Set this value to selected cells' is set to 'Fail component'.
Was changing the access mode the simple reason why the insert from the flat file takes so much longer, or could there be other problems?
Thank you for your help!

Hello Experts,
Pl. help me in designing a small application..This app. is to be used by 12 users. We need
an application to log time spent by the team in office.so this is a time sheet system. I
know how to design a table, a form etc..My question is how can many users share the same
database?
Let us say that on my computer I have created the database as db1.mdb. (it has all the
tables , forms etc) Now for other users to use this what do I have to do?
Also can MS Access be used to make an application which supports simultaneous use by 12
persons?I mean can it support such an app?
Will be most thankful for your inputs..This is urgent.

Hello,
I think I may be going a little bit mad. Last week I created a database on SQL Server. I then created an access database on a different windows server, and set up an ODBC connection on that windows server to my database on SQL Server. I then set up linked tables within Access to point to my tables on the SQL Server. I'm fairly sure that I opened those links at the time and managed to display and update the data from Access. However I have come to this today and when I go into the Access database and attempt to open one of the links I get a connection failed message. When I check the ODBC connection on the windows server it is fine. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I really need this to be working by tomorrow to do a demo, and I'm so convinced it worked last week I am a little bemused!
Many many thanks in advance of your wonderful and prompt replies!!! :)

Strange MS Access behaviour! URGENT please!!
We have a view looking at all the columns of a table on a SQL server 7.0 db. When we link this view to MSAccess, we are seeing the old data which was there previously in the original table! not the latest data. We recompiled the table and views and also re-linked the view to MSAccess with no help,we still see the old data only.This is happening only for one of the views not for all.Any help???

hi, I have settup up sql mail and did the following:
1. created an E-mail account and configured Out look by creating a pop3 mail profile. tested it by sending and receiving mail, that is ook
2. I Created one domain account for MSsqlserver and Sql Agent service. both services use same account and start automatically in the control panel-services
3. I used the profile that I created in outlook to test the sql mail but got an error:
Error 22030 : A MAPI error ( error number:273) occurred: MapiLogon Ex Failed due to MAPI
Error 273: MAPI Logon Failed
I really do not know what went wrong. I followed the steps from bol and still having a problem. Am I missing something.
I do have a valid email account
I do have a valid domain account
I tested outlook using the email account and it worked. so why sql server does not recognise MAPI.
My next question, How to configure MAPI in Sql server if what I did was wrong.
