I've got a form in ax 2009, showing filtered records of a table (about 5.000.000 records total, about 1000 shown filtered).
Selecting a couple of those records in the form and deleting them via form-control (alt+f9) is very slow.
One record is deleted immediately, selecting about 20 takes several minutes!
There is only one deleteAction on the table - any idea what could thwart the operation?
edit:
The regarding table has two indices, both don't allow duplicates. First one is an index on an integer field, second one is a combined one of three fields.
createRedIdIndex is not activated.
The filter makes use of one column ( employeeID ) in a queryBuildRange.
deleteAction: another table (B) references the id ( indexed ) of the mentioned table (A). A has a deleteAction on B. setting is "cascade"
The two tables are related via id-field.
The relations can be resolved by an index.
And it's only an amount of about 20 records I want to delete - so I don't go in line with the idea, that the "to-delete-data-amount" is too big!
Also have a look on this:

Consider adding
grid.autoSizeColumns(false);
as suggested in the article.
Do diagnose database performance issues in AX, enable SQL tracing in Tools\Setup in the SQL tab page.
Use the code profiler to see where the time is used.

i have some tables that each one have different columns like this :
each User ( have ID ) can post to my website and Add some events, so each update goes to related table! but my problem is how show this information only in one Gridview . its something like facebook Timeline that shows your updates sorted by date .
i tried to use SQL join but its not a good way because i have 10 to 12 tables, joining all these tables is time consuming.
i want have a gridview that be bind from different tables on sort the information by their date ( each table have a date column )
sorry for my bad English.
You will need to use a single datasource for your Gridview, which means you need to join your tables in a single query, or use multiple Gridviews (one per table). I can't see why joining your tables in a query would be more time consuming than any other way you propose, assuming there was a way to do it within the Gridview, you'd just be doing the time consuming task on sort rather than on render.
Perhaps post your query and gridview code for a more specific answer.
I'm struggling to decide what database schema to use. One large table, or many small (though more difficult to manage).
I have 10 templates each with their own text fields. I am trying to store the text for the templates in a database and then when the web page is called I will show the correct text in the html template. Because a mixture of these templates are to be in a sequence of screens where you can navigate backwards or forwards, I need to be able to sequence them, I can only think of adding a page_number column. I also would like to re-order them and delete them as necessary using the page_number column.
I was planning to do all this in a web application without the need for a standard folder/web page structure, like a small CMS system.
option 1,
I can create one large table with many columns, lot's of which will be empty, over half with each row. Is this bad?
option 2,
I could create many tables using only the relevant template columns required.
The problem I see with this, is the headache of repopulating a column in each table when I delete a row, because I need to re-sequence a column that represents page numbers. Which I reduce if I use one large table.
I've thought of moving page numbers into another table called page_order but I cannot think of a way to maintain an effective relationship between the other tables if I make changes.
I'm yet to figure out how to re-sequence a column in a database when a row is deleted. Surely this is a common problem!?
Thanks for taking the time to help!
Have one table that contains one row per template. It might look like:
id (INT, auto-increment)
page_order (INT, unique key here, so pages cannot have the same number)
field1 (STRING, name of the text field)
value1 (STRING, contents of the text field)
field2
value2
Then you have to decide the maximum fields that any page can have (N) and keep adding field/value columns up to N.
The advantage of this is you have one table that isn't sparsely populated (as long as the templates have about the same number of fields, even if the names of those fields are different).
If you want to make an improvement to his (maybe not necessary for a small amount of data) you could change field to an INT id and connect it to a lookup table that contains (field_id, field_name).
Im using Asp.net (VB.net), in my Database :
have One table called (Trade), the same rows of this table are used from 3 different users, These users can make different updates on this table, they should see the basic informations of the table (I mean by the Basic, before the table (trade) has been updated)
The problem is here when the first user wants to modify the table's rows, the second and third user cannot see the basic information any more, and if they decide to change or update some data, the first will lose his updated rows..
The data will be overwritten every time the users make updates on the table.
What I want, is to know if there is a way to do like a copy, or an image of the table for the 3 users, and every user can update normally, without creating the same Table with the same rows 3 times??!
Update
My table structure is: Trade(trName, Carrier, POl, POD, Vgp, Qgp) There is no primary key..
Thank you..
Solution to your problem could be two copies of the original table. Show the original table always to the user as the initial data. And in second table keep the updated data always. Now the trick comes here to maintain the log, for that you have to maintain the log table, this table will have all the fields of original table along with one additional column "UserId", this will have the ID of user who has changed the value. Now each time before updating the data, copy it in the log table. If this suits your need then post the fields of your table then we can workout on the table structures.
I know this has been asked before..sort of. And that's why I'm posting. Basically I'm building a report in Crystal that relies, to keep this simple, at least 3 tables.
Table A is inner joined to table B by a unique ID. Table B has a child table that may or may not have data related to this unqiue ID.
As a general example table A is a customer table, table B is a product table and the child table is contains the product number. All customers have a product, but not all customers have product number in the child table. I hope I've explained that simply enough.
My issue is sort of between Crytal and Access and how to query this. When I'm writing behind something in VB it's easy enough to write and execute a query and display the result in the desired manner. However I can't seem to get my query straight... I either end up with a report with cartesian product as the resultset, which displays ok...except that even with the few records I have ends up being about 30k pages..or I end up with a blank dataset because the child table does not have corrisponding data to B.
Using outter joins I've managed to get my results within some amount of reason but not acceptable to a real world report. I'm sure this issue has come up but I can't seem to find any suitable answers and to be honest I'm not even sure what questions to ask being a Crystal n00b.
What I'm really after is the data from Table A, the data from Table B and children tables. While they are logically linked and can be linked with the ID field, it isn't necessary I don't think because I am taking a parameter value for the report of the ID field. And once the tables are filtered, no other action needs to be taken except to dump them back on the report.
So can anybody point me in the right direction? Can I set up individual datasoruces (unrelated) based perhaps in a seperate section? Should I build a tree of queries and logic in my DB to get what I need out? I've been racking my brain and can't seem to find the right solution, any and all advice is apreciated and if I can clarify anything or answer any questions I will.
Thanks in advance.
As per requested below:
Section1
ID fname lname
01 john smith
Section2
ID notifiedDate notifiedTime
01 10/10/2012 12:35PM
S2childAdmin
ID noteName
01 jane doe
This data is logically related and can be related in the DB. However it is not necessary as long as the ID parameter is passed to each table. Querying Section1 inner joined with Section2 works fine. But any other arrangements result in more rows than required and I end up with a report many times duplicated. What I really need is something like Section1 joined with Section2 and S2childAdmin as a freely availble table. Otherwise it multiplies my data or results in a null recordset (because it can return 0 rows)
I think this should help point you in the right direction, though it has been 5 years or so since I did heavy Crystal Reports work.
One option might be to join everything using Outer Joins like you stated you were, then use a Crystal Report 'group' on the Table A ID, with a group based upon Table B ID inside of that. So you would, in the actual 'Detail' area put your table C details if there were any, and then use the Group header/footer for Table A and Table B to show data specific to those objects.
Another possible solution that may fall short of your requirements but might get you thinking in another way, is to create your main report and in it, display the fields from table A. Then below those fields include a sub-report and pass in the unique ID from Table A. You will then have a query inside of the subreport that finds all of the Table B records with that Table A.ID value and displays their details.
At this point you run into a weakness of Crystal Reports (at least as of the last version I used) in that you cannot have a subreport inside of a subreport.
In a specific table I have a SortOrder integer field that tells my page in which order to display the data. There are sets of data in the this field (based on a CategoryID field), and each set will have its own ordering. Users can add/remove/update records in this table.
My question is what is the best way to manage this SortOrder field? I would like to "reseed" it everytime a record is deleted or updated. Is this something I should be using a trigger for? Or should my code handle it and manage the reseeding?
What I used to do is use only odd numbers in the SortOrder field so upon changing the order, I would add or subtract 3 from the current value of the modified item and then do a reseed (order the items again using odd number indexes). Also I used to reseed after every insert or delete.
All you really have to worry about is swapping any two fields. All new entries go to the end and i'm sure you've got a mechanism by which the user can change the order. The order change, move up or down, really is a swap with a neighboring field. All you really care about is that all the fields are sorted properly. Don't let a mathematical sense of aesthetic drive you into creating something overly complex. (You'll end up with holes in your sequence after deletes are made but that's OK. It's an internal sequence marker used for ORDER BY. the numbers don't need to be made contiguous.)
