In addition to that, what database are we talking about here and what kind of perceived issues are you seeing? Generally speaking, one does not "research the ODBC stage" looking for speed improvements, especially over a native stage.

So you didn't actually migrate 'the server', correct? To me, that would mean some sort of backup/restore whole-blood copy of the file structures but that wouldn't be prudent unless so many things were identical across environments, including the operating system. I'm assuming your vendor actually mi...

That 'freezing' is to be expected while records are flushing to disk. First suggestion - don't use writing caching. Second suggestion - create the hashed file with a large minimum modulus. Use the Hashed File Calculator to get an idea of what the value should be.

Link ordering would ensure that the 'master' record is sent to its target first before the child record would begin its journey.

I agree. :wink:

And Eric is absolutely correct as to your issue. The way you have them now they just get passed in as strings rather than being resolved as parameters.
