Queries slow all of the sudden....

Hello everyone,

I have a report that has several queries behind it. The database is a
split database with the data on our network.

Usually, this report takes about 3 minutes to run (there is a lot that
happens with this one).

However, as of last week, its taking 45 minutes!

I copied the database to my machine and the report completes in about 3
minutes.

So, before going to IT pointing to a network issue, is there anything
else I should try? Any testing I can do?

Thanks.

Brian

Additional information that I just came across.

I had compacted the backend recently.

I relinked the database to a un-compacted database and it is running
fine.

So, does compacting cause an issue? Is there a way to reverse this?

Thanks

Not normally but have you tried compacting the front end as well?

Also, if no joy, take a copy of the uncompacted back end and compact it,
does the problem occur there and then?

When it's fast, are you the only one who has the back-end open?

When it's slow, do 2 or more people have it open?

What are the client and server operating systems on the network?

Hello everyone.

The problem is resolved.

It looks like a compact corrupted something within one of the tables.
I took a backup copy of the system, restored it, and reimported the
table I needed.

All seems fine now.

Thank you,

Brian
