connectivity between SQL and Progress

  • We are currently using an ODBC connection between our Progress and SQL databases. It's too slow for real-time queries so we usually refresh a SQL table from Progress at night when the load is lower. Can someone recommend a better solution? I am a newbie in this area so please explain in detail or provide a link to a page that does so.

    Thank you very much.

  • Hi

    This is a little less information to help.

    * What does your progress? Show data? Update data?

    * How many data does it handle?

    * Which statement(s) do you use?

  • Use SSIS to extract/load data instead of using linked server (is that what you are using?).

    Other options:

    Create procedures in Progress, call procedures through linked server instead of queries.

    Create views in Progress to limit data, use views from SQL Server instead of tables.

    Make sure queries on tables in Progress have SARGABLE where clauses to avoid pulling all data across the linked server.

    There could be any number of additional options to help - but, it really depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
