Nothing has changed, but performance has changed ... |

adam | Sorry for this appallingly vague post, I am at a loss to explain it myself.
I have a small office network (only 3 PCs) running a Delphi 2007 app with DBISAM C/S. Running on port 10.0.0.xxx on the server machine. 2 PCs are Vista, 1 (the server) is XP SP2. It has worked fantastically for ages, but just recently the remote machines occasionally experience dramatic slow-downs in performance. I have just had the machine hang for 2 minutes while trying to return a single record, a process which normally takes hundreths of a second. In general performance is good, but occasionally there are long waits on posting or retrieving datasets which would normally run very quickly. -- I don't think the problem has anything to do with the application or DBISAM. I believe it is a network issue, something slowing or stopping network traffic. The only change is that 1 wirelessly connected Windows 7 machine has been added to the network (though it is not even using the database application!) The problems are on the Vista machines. - Are there any reported problems with Win 7 and C/S networked DBISAM applications? - Any other ideas what could be going wrong? Thanks in advance! |

Absolutely no help to you but I've experienced similar problems on my home network mixed XP/Vista but filesharing rather than c/s. Everything running fine then click to move to another record and you might as well go an make a cuppa. I've never been able to come up with a rational explanation, I just wait the interruption out.

They might make changes that dramatically affect performance while they are updating (as an example) and you would not even know it, until you see the effect. Robert |

adam | It is great to hear that others have no idea what is actually happening either & see
similar problems ( What do other developers use to monitor the network traffic on their system to try to actually figure out what is going on under the hood? Is it worth setting up something like a Linux box with the database on it as a server, could that solve the problem or would it remain an issue if the clients were still XP/Vista/Win7? |

"Raul" | Is the problem specific to the DBISAM app or the whole PC (does the PC hang otherwise when accessing network/internet/etc)? if you completely shut down the wireless Vista system does the other still hang with dbisam ? Any chance it's the networking hardware (router/switch) ? Like Robert mentioned AV can cause issues - do you have an AV that intercepts and scans data at network stack level ? (I've seen Kaspersky for example causing basic TCP connection issues). Make sure the client app exe is excluded from and if possible temporarily shut down the real-time scanning (if enabled). IPv6 on Vista can also cause problems - especially with newer routers - so I would suggest 2 things : 1) make sure local lan is designated as "work network" (and not "home network) and if that does not help then 2) disable ipv6 on Vista. If you're still not getting anywhere then tweaking Vista parameters might help. For example this link lists some of the options : http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=2574 We're running dbisam in a mixed setup as well (no Vista but XP, Win7 and various server flavours) and have not had any problems.
