I've even taken this further worrying that the NthField manipulation might be the issue and changed the line parsing to use an array and the Split command, but the time is the same implying that the issue is in the actual commit of the data to the database.

Have you tried removing the DB code to see what the difference in speed is? That sounds like unbelievably terrible performance.

Hi Kevin,

Yes, as a matter of fact, I have :). The difference is simply parsing the file and splitting the line (or using NthField), the read takes around 30 seconds on my PowerBook and 13 seconds on my Mac Pro. Sorry I didn't mention that as it was one of the first places I checked.


Are you doing each line as a separate transaction? Try encapsulating about 10K lines within each transaction. I've found that this trick speeds things up a lot.

Hi Mark,

Sorry that the code was clipped off from the previous messages, but I've tried issuing the App.CatalogDB.Commit in a separate trap outside of the main loop. From my current code:

// Tried both committing in the loop each time and outside in batches.
    If lnCount Mod 1000 = 0 Then
      App.CatalogDB.Commit
    End If

I've tried committing every 10, 100, and 1000 and the results are all around the same. However, I've not tried 10K iterations through. I'll give that a shot and see if there's any appreciable change.
