Hi Marc, I'm looking at
> (t_1.tr_type = '1') AND I don't recall -- do parens force usage of an index, or the reverse? Regardless, you might try w/o them. Is tr_type actually a string data type (single quotes)? I understand that the main question is why it takes twice as long under v8 to print the report, but one thought might be to limit the data, either in the view or the where clause for the report. So > WHERE + > (t_1.tr_type = '1') AND + might become something like > WHERE + dr_num = 1234 and + > (t_1.tr_type = '1') AND + Assuming dr_num (or what ever limiting data) is indexed, and early in the where clause, the report should start pretty quickly. > If the report is based off a view why > does it access the individual tables? Someone mentioned earlier that a view is just a stored Sql Query, there is no data stored in a view. They are also referred to as "pseudo tables" because, just like this report, you can refer to a Sql Query as though it is a table. Of course you can stack one view on top of another if need be. So views are just a convenient way for referring to/using queries. Since selecting against this view is as fast as it was under 7.5 (that's correct??) I think the suggestions referring to settings in the report itself make the most sense. If your view construct was faulty I would think performance would be poor under both platforms. Ben
