    Posted: 08 May 2008 at 11:10pm
Hi,

 I am using Crystal Report XI with database oracle and DB2. On DB2 it works fine. But while connecting with oracle database it take too much time, and often Not respond. and on Database end it run a complex query which reads sys tables.

How can I minimize the time to connect with database (oracle)???

Please help.

Regards,
Fahim

Which Oracle client are you using?  Are you using an ODBC connection or a native Oracle connection?

JDBC, ODBC, OleDB, etc. are "generic" connections.  They are not optimized for any one database.  So, in your case, anything that's not a native Oracle connection will be slow.  Period.  If you need to use that type of connection in order to make the report useable for both Oracle and DB2, you'll just have to live with it. 

If you can use a native Oracle connection (i.e., when you're creating the connection, select Oracle Server and go from there) it will be much faster.

Thanks Hilfy,

 
     I agree that native oracle driver is much better than JDBC, But my  Web application uses JDBC drivers to call reports and for that I have to you JDBC drivers.
     Response of Crystal Report X using JDBC is quite better than Crystal Report XI, I am using Crystal Report X as a work around but still its awesome.
 
   The following is a query which is run on DB when attempting to connect through JDBC.
 
   It take too much time even on Command Prompt.
 
 
SELECT NULL AS table_cat,
DECODE(s.table_owner, NULL, t.owner, s.table_owner)
AS table_schem,
DECODE(s.synonym_name, NULL, t.table_name, s.synonym_name)
AS table_name,
t.column_name AS column_name,
DECODE (t.data_type, 'CHAR', 1, 'VARCHAR2', 12, 'NUMBER', 3,
'LONG', -1, 'DATE', 91, 'RAW', -3, 'LONG RAW', -4,
'BLOB', 2004, 'CLOB', 2005, 'BFILE', -13, 'FLOAT', 6,
'TIMESTAMP(6)', 93, 'TIMESTAMP(6) WITH TIME ZONE', -101,
'TIMESTAMP(6) WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE', -102,
'INTERVAL YEAR(2) TO MONTH', -103,
'INTERVAL DAY(2) TO SECOND(6)', -104,
'BINARY_FLOAT', 100, 'BINARY_DOUBLE', 101,
1111)
AS data_type,
t.data_type AS type_name,
DECODE (t.data_precision, null, t.data_length, t.data_precision)
AS column_size,
0 AS buffer_length,
t.data_scale AS decimal_digits,
10 AS num_prec_radix,
DECODE (t.nullable, 'N', 0, 1) AS nullable,
NULL AS remarks,
t.data_default AS column_def,
0 AS sql_data_type,
0 AS sql_datetime_sub,
t.data_length AS char_octet_length,
t.column_id AS ordinal_position,
DECODE (t.nullable, 'N', 'NO', 'YES') AS is_nullable
FROM all_tab_columns t, all_synonyms s
WHERE (t.owner LIKE :4 ESCAPE '/' OR
(s.owner LIKE :5 ESCAPE '/' AND t.owner = s.table_owner))
AND (t.table_name LIKE :6 ESCAPE '/' OR
s.synonym_name LIKE :7 ESCAPE '/')
AND t.column_name LIKE :8 ESCAPE '/'
AND s.table_name (+) = t.table_name
AND ((DECODE(s.owner, t.owner, 'OK',
'PUBLIC', 'OK',
NULL, 'OK',
'NOT OK') = 'OK') OR
(s.owner LIKE :9 AND t.owner = s.table_owner))
ORDER BY table_schem, table_name, ordinal_position
