I've just set up a server with SAPDB and I am doing a test with the new 
instance that I had created.
The server it's a PIII 1.7GHZ, 200MB RAM and 40GB. It has 2 hard disks. 
SAPDB is installed on the second disk. I am using Windows 2000 
Professional.

This is the situation:

I have two tables, and I need to do an insert on another table, so my 
statement is something like this:

insert into tableC  (select C1,C2...... from tableA, tableB where 
tableA.ID=tableB.ID);

the select statement gives me 400,000 rows of data, and SAPDB takes 4 
hours !!! to do this statement (I mean the entire insert statement).  I 
had created an INDEX on tableA with the ID Column but it seems that it 
doesn't help too much. 
Also when I did the insert statement but with a GROUP BY, and a SUM 
function, SAPDB takes many hours to do it... 
I think it's an I/O problem, but I don't know how SAPDB solves these kind 
of problems. Actually I don't have any RAID or DISK ARRAY configuration, 
and I won't have it.... so how can I improve the performance of SAPD

thanks,
Alex
