Hi

Our set up
Server:IB6 db

Clients:W98/W2K
Delphi App/BDE/IB5.x client

The strange thing is this;

we have a view set up that joins 2 tables clients and vehicles, if you
search by registration no from the app i.e.

select * from view where regno like 'P35%' , generally the results come back
sub second.

On Tuesday, this search started taking 20-30 secs and is getting worse.

This same query from a vb app/ado/dsn/odbc/IB5.x client takes about a
second, as does using the IB ISQL app.

We've taken the db down and brought it back up to ensure index stats are
reorg'd and garbage is collected etc and this doesn't help.

We have an identical test db on the same server which is not affected by
this problem

What is going on? Has the BDE croaked as it is only the delphi app that has
problems here, but only with the live db? very puzzling!

HELP PLEASE!!!!

thanks,
Craig.
