The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

DB2 w/ Access Front End - Improving Peformance - Stored Procedures?

Asked by Arznek in DB2 Database, Microsoft Access Database, SQL Query Syntax

Tags: db2, access, end, front, linked

I have about 15 separate MS Access programs that use ODBC to connect to a DB2 database used for an ERP system.  There are a lot of linked tables and a lot of custom queries that were written in Access that are performed on the DB2 database.

The DB2 server is pretty beefy (64bit HP DL385).  It is getting hit by ~50-75 users simultaneously via ERP system and the Access queries, but the Access queries seem to run very slow.  This is all within a Citrix environment.

My questions:
1.) How efficient are linked tables in Access as well as Access queries to these linked tables?
2.) Can I improve performance by using Stored Procedures in the DB2 database, and if so, how can I use DB2 SP's in Access?
3.) Are there any alternative solutions to increase performance?
