I have about 20K records that result from the following query. Front end for the database is ACCESS97 and pulling up 20K records makes a huge performance hit. For the form in question I am using PASSTHROUGH type query (the one that just passes everything straight to server without ODBC). NOTE: souce_for_inquiries_form is the TEMP table and is searchable in the from (it feeds a pull-down list).
SELECT inquiries.inquiry_id, inquiries.contact_id, inquiries.indiv_contact_id, inquiries.phone, inquiries.fax, inquiries.agent_id, inquiries.inquiry_date, inquiries.event_type, inquiries.letter_type, inquiries.event_date, inquiries.event_date_general, inquiries.event_location, inquiries.guests, inquiries.hours, inquiries.budget, inquiries.event_description, inquiries.talent_description, inquiries.past_use, inquiries.referred_by, inquiries.date_sent, inquiries.end_user, inquiries.event_id, inquiries.notes, source_for_inquiries_form.organization, source_for_inquiries_form.mailing_address_1, source_for_inquiries_form.mailing_address_2, source_for_inquiries_form.city, source_for_inquiries_form.state, source_for_inquiries_form.zip, source_for_inquiries_form.contact_type, individual_contacts.contact_name_first, individual_contacts.contact_name_last, individual_contacts.contact_prefix, individual_contacts.contact_title, individual_contacts.email FROM inquiries LEFT JOIN individual_contacts ON inquiries.indiv_contact_id = individual_contacts.indiv_contact_id INNER JOIN contacts AS source_for_inquiries_form ON inquiries.contact_id = source_for_inquiries_form.contact_id ORDER BY inquiries.inquiry_id DESC; I want to hear all the suggestions. Tired of ACCESS97 front end, but at the same time so many of the forms have VB code in it and have sub-forms, that so far no one gave me any good ideas how to move the front end into PHP or something else, or combination of something. I run Linux for my servers and I don't plan to use Win product anymore (whatever licenses we have, we will just live with them as long as we can and then Linux here we come for desktops).
