Actually, I am running on Oracle. Not sure where this Frontbase notion started. :-)

I will look into Ken's suggestion below, that might do the trick.

Joshua, some DB's "like" results are the same as their case insensitive variety. I'm not sure about FrontBase, but it may be worth a try.

I had a similar problem with Oracle a while ago. Queries run from the command line or a SQL editor took far less time than ones generated by EOF. In the end, it turned out that the problem was related to using parameter passing (since EOF always parameterized the queries... it was really comparing apples to oranges). For Oracle, I had to do this to solve the problem:

-Doracle.jdbc.V8Compatible=true

Anyway, I realize on FrontBase this doesn't help you very much, but you might want to consider that the adaptor is sending the query in a different way than you would manually...

Hi Chuck,

I am timing the app queries based on what EOAdaptorDebugEnabled shows. In each case, only one row is returned, so I'm guessing the difference is not caused by any EOF overhead that might be going on.

For the runs against database, I am timing thusly:

Timing start;
<query as pasted from EOAdaptorDebugEnabled logs>;
timing stop;

Just ran the above of again, with freshly cut and pasted SQL to be sure, same result.

Regardless, I will see about having the schema change done.

Thanks for the prompt response.

Hi,

I am seeing some search performance behavior I don't understand and am hoping someone can provide some insight.

We have an application that searches a very large table (millions of rows) for orders. We have options to search with wild cards, and and do case insensitive searches. Typical generated SQL for case insensitive wild card search looks like this:

SELECT <bunch of attributes>, from ORDERS T0 WHERE UPPER(T0.EMAIL_ADDRESS) LIKE UPPER('[EMAIL PROTECTED]') ESCAPE '\;

This query can take up to a minute and a half. It takes the same amount of time whether the query is run directly against our database or using our application. This is what I would expect.


A case insensitive non wild card search produces SQL below

SELECT <bunch of attributes>, from ORDERS T0 WHERE UPPER(T0.EMAIL_ADDRESS) LIKE UPPER('[EMAIL PROTECTED]') ESCAPE '\;

Here is what I don't understand: If I run the above query directly against our database, it takes about 12 seconds.

I am somewhat surprised it would run that fast. Are you certain you are timing this exact query?


However, running it through the app still takes about a minute and a half.


Can anyone explain why this might be from an EOF perspective?

Not immediately. But I would just avoid this whole issue and make the column collate case insensitively:

ALTER COLUMN "ORDERS"."EMAIL_ADDRESS" TO COLLATE INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CASE_INSENSITIVE;


Both will be much faster.
