Yes, I'm using views. This is an application that was not written by me, but was orignally a vfp5 app. The previous porgrammer likd views I guess.
Any fields used in the down the line final view, have indexes on all fields that are involved in that query. (I addded those a long time ago.) >From the coverage profiler, the other queries, run in <1 second. The one I want to speed up can take a long time on site, and is at least 10 times slower on my local machine than others. What I do in the load event of the form, is load all views, with NODATA of course, and then index the fields. I have separated out the code that creates the final view, wher prior to its execution, I requery all views. The one mentioned is the bottleneck. I also, have noticed that the sys(3054,11) sometimes reports a cartesian join, but it is not consistant. Also, on my local machine there is no speed difference if it does a cartesian join or not. Also, there has been discussion about a deleted index. How will that help? Doesn't that inde just slow things down on the network?
