- Hello
-
- We have been developing a Windows -application with Borland C++ using the
- db_VISTA multi-user version 3.20 as the database application. The problem
- is speed.
-
- Even if executing the application in one machine with the network running
- (no other machines are connected), the opening of the databases is
- extremely slow. As soon as the databases are opened, the speed is quite
- good though, even when the amount of data transferred is quite much.
-
- We have tried to alter the configuration of the network and the vista
- cache etc., but nothing so far has helped. The machines are 386 / 4-8
- Megabytes, DOS 4.0 and 5.0 and Windows is 3.0. Network used is LanTastic
- 4. The target architecture of the application is 2-6 node network with no
- separate server. One of the machines contains the database files, and the
- application is supposed to work on this machine too.
-
- Does anyone have any ideas to improve performance (any other than a
- dedicated server or opening all the databases when starting the
- application and keeping them opened until application ends)?
-
