UNC or local Database Directory path. |

David | I have a few databases setup on a C/S Database server, all the DB files are located on the same server.
I have noticed that I seem to have set this up as a mix of local path and UNC Paths in the server admin utility. The UNC paths are pointing to the same computer. I am unsure, but would the UNC paths have to go across the network and therefore be a bit slower than if I had just used a local path as the files are located on the same computer as the database server.

I would have to do an analysis to find out for sure, though. Windows may be smart enough to work it all out and bypass SMB. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Windows may be smart enough to work it all out and bypass SMB. If I had to place a bet I'd go for Windows being smart enough. Its quite a few years back now but I remember having to jump through a lot of hoops to get the UNC path returned rather than the local path. Roy |
