Girvin ,
You must know that ORB , when openning a report, first execute the SQL
commands "saved" with the report, this can surrly takes some time, then
you can give a new 'actual)set off SQL commands. Therefore we never safe
the reports with real SQL commands, we just make a dummy command and so
the reports are comming up match quicker.
Hope its helps

I avoid the report builder like illness. If you feel the need to
dance with this software diva then you should do all calculations,
filtering, grouping and sorting in SQL leaving the only good looking
stuff up to the beast.
Andreas,
Thanks for your reply. Report Builder (RB) has always been a "beast"
to me too, but it is the only option I know of for printing my
database data in a human readable form. So, I have to live with it,
at least until I find something better. Before Base, I was using
Rekall, which had some nice features. But that Open Source version is
no longer supported, so that option is dead.
I am using a SQL query to sort and provide all the data to Report
Builder. I am not using any RB grouping or filtering either. It is
just a "flat" data set for RB to pretty up for printing. That is why
I don't see why it is so slow. All the real time consumers, such as
sorting, are being done by MySQL. Also, after writer displays my
first page or two, it goes out to lunch again, as if it is
recalculating everything all over again. That is frustrating, since
it locks up and I have to wait several more minutes for another
couple-second window where I can scroll or kill it before it goes off
again.
I will certainly take your experience to heart and your recommendation
to update my Java.
Thanks again.
Girvin
