So you are effectively streaming ther whole table?  What size at the .dat,
..idx and .blb files added together?

Yes, that's most likely it.

Yes, the indexes have to be rebuilt on the client side.  The stream format
is index-agnostic and only contains the column data.  This allows you to
stream query result sets into tables, and vice-versa.

Thanks for all the support.

If I remove the full text stuff the load time drops to 37 secs.

If I remove 4 (out of 9) of the other indexes the load time drops to 15 secs.

I'm wondering if I can do without indexes altogether being as the DevEx grids have their own DataControllers and perhaps that can replace them.

Tim.  Did you have any thoughts on the OnCalcFields event not firing?

Thanks.

Rob.

Robert,

That still seems very excessive.  We're talking about 3000 records, correct
?

<< Tim.  Did you have any thoughts on the OnCalcFields event not firing? >>

Sorry, I missed that at the end.

Are you thinking it will run during the loading of the stream ?  If so, then
no, it won't fire until after the stream is loaded, and then only once.

Also:

<< Please let me know if I should be paying for a Support Plan. >>

We encourage all customers to renew their support plans.  The help on the
newsgroups is supposed to be peer-only, but I monitor them anyways.
However, we expect everyone to be honest about renewals.  It starts to
become an issue, then I'll have to stop monitoring the newsgroups or change
things to a "must be a customer to get an official response" policy.

I'll check where I am up to with the support plan.  I think I may be up to date as for some reason I'd thought the support plan was 'extra' to paying for updates.

Also, for the record, it transpires that the DevEx DataController creates it's own indexes so that should help speed up the remote streaming.

No, they're one and the same - support includes access to all minor releases
within the support period.

Yes, but it still is a little odd that you're seeing such large times.  Did
you try opening the local in-memory table exclusively ?  That should speed
things up tremendously.

Tim.

The table is not being opened exclusively.

I have now removed all indexes (I think the default one has to remain?) and the streaming and opening the resulting table is down to 8 seconds.

That is bearable.

Is that with Exclusive=True, or Exclusive=False ?  If the latter, did you
try setting Exclusive=True ?  It's an in-memory table, so it shouldn't
matter in terms of the client application.
