Hi

We have a BDE app that has been converted to Firebird. We have used IBO
components with Auto commit. However We are implementing proper
transaction handling. as in the previous email thread (Im back from
holiday now).

We have a large processing block that I have surrounded by one
transaction as if any part fails we want to rollback and retry. However
the process is now much slower! With autocommit and default IBO
transaction it takes about 0.4s to process. With an explicit
starttransaction / commit it now takes 11s !!!

I have run gStat which returns the following...

Database header page information:

*END*


Which seems OK.

What am I doing wrong ?
