With "a small Request" i mean that a table contains only one record
for example. The Database is hosted on a Unix Server. When we use a
Query Tool like IBOConsole the time to connect to the Database and
getting the Query Result is very slow. Doesn´t think that it is a
Network Problem. I´ve tried at Home and in the Company at several PC´s
and the Result is always the same.
