Thread: PgSQL vs Ms.Access slow in search
Hello everybody! First of all, sorry for my poor english. And now, the problem that don't leave me sleep :). I'm using PgSQL as the data source of some forms in MsAccess, with the current version of the ODBC driver. It exports/imports tables right and fast. But... when I have the tables "linked" (it's correct this word???), and i try to do a search (Edit->Find or Ctrl-B) in any column of any table with more of 1.000 tuples: first: the access seems to be dead thinking too much :) second: the postmaster takes 99% of CPU Why????? In numerics primary keys, the both works better, but most of time, they dead. I've startde postmaster from a shell, and I get: 2001-10-09 20:39:50 [6573] DEBUG: StartTransactionCommand 2001-10-09 20:39:51 [6573] DEBUG: CommitTransactionCommand 2001-10-09 20:39:51 [6573] DEBUG: StartTransactionCommand 2001-10-09 20:39:51 [6573] DEBUG: CommitTransactionCommand 2001-10-09 20:39:51 [6573] DEBUG: StartTransactionCommand 2001-10-09 20:39:51 [6573] DEBUG: CommitTransactionCommand 2001-10-09 20:39:51 [6573] DEBUG: StartTransactionCommand 2001-10-09 20:39:51 [6573] DEBUG: CommitTransactionCommand 2001-10-09 20:39:51 [6573] DEBUG: StartTransactionCommand 2001-10-09 20:39:52 [6573] DEBUG: CommitTransactionCommand (only 4 querys from each second?????) I've tried to fin a solution by my self, but I couldn't :(. With MySQL -> MyODBC -> Access the problem It's the same.

Edit the ODBC driver DSN that you are using to connect to PostgreSQL and turn on or enable the "CommLog" option. It can be found by clicking on the "Driver" button. Try your search in Access again. This should create a file in the C: drive of the PC you are running Access on called c:\psqlodbc????.log where ???? is a number. If there are many of these types of files in your C: drive, the select the latest file and review it's contents. This should show everything that happens between Access and PostgreSQL. This log file has helped me resolve 90% of my issues with Access. If it is still unclear what the problem is, then please email the log file.

But I've never enabled CommLog (I thing that postmaster and tcpdump will give more information). I've diving in microsoft.com, and I've instaled the last Jet engine, but the problem persists. I've also chage some parametres in regedit.exe. I'll gave you information when I'll know something else.
