I have an Access database to report on event statistics gathered from a mainframe system. The mainframe scheduler (ZEKE) doesn't have robust reporting features, so I export daily event data to report on.
A master listing from a separate source (a static list that will not change on a regular basis) lists the individual applications, including the application code (which is the naming standard for production runs) and the name of the programmer, coordinator, manager, business unit, etc. for that application.
The user can search by any field, application code, programmer, coordinator, etc.
Choose the production center to search in (there are 5) or default to all, and choose all dates, a single date, or a date range.
The query takes the search parameters and starting with either the application code, or the person, searches the table for applications and copies records to a temp table for reporting.
For example, to see how many failures the application coordinator John Doe had for the past week for all of the applications he is responsible for, the query would move all application records listing John Doe as the coordinator to the temp table.
From there, it moves through the temp table for each application and searches the event data for events under that application code which meet the criteria entered for date, production center and event type (success, failure or both).
This is moved to a temp table for the final report.
The table for event data is currently 2.5 million lines (this is 15 days worth of data) and is growing daily.
I put the back end onto a newly created NAS drive on our network.
A report that took two minutes when the back end and front end were on the same machine now takes 29 minutes.
Any suggestions to streamline the queries over a network?

Firstly, you need to work out where the bottlenecks are, so I would suggest putting some Debug.Print Now statements throughout the code to give you an idea of what is causing the issue.
I would guess that two of the processes that take most of the time are the DELETE/INSERT statements that you are doing.
I would suggest that rather than doing this, you look at normalizing your database, and then creating a query that provides the information that you need.
Also, by running the report directly from a query rather than a temporary table means that you don't have to worry about the deletes/inserts creating database bloat.
If you really insist on keeping this process, then consider deleting the table [tbl-RPT-IIPM] and then recreating it, rather than deleting the records. And consider removing the indexes before the insert, and then adding them back afterwards, as indexes splow down inserts, but obviously speed up searches and joins.
Also, when you are inserting data into [tbl-RPT-IIPM], you are using ([L3] like '" & appL3 & "'), which is the same as ([L3]='" & appL3 & "'), but slower.
When you are inserting data into [tbl-EVENTREPORT], you are doing it when looping through a recordset - it may be faster to use an INSERT SQL statement.
Regards,
OK, with some more information, some more answers that may (or may not!!) help. Again, you will need to run timing tests to see which works best for you.
Try adding a "Yes/No" field to the table [tbl-EVENT DATA]. You can then use an UPDATE statement to indicate which fields to include in the report, rather than using the slow INSERT query.
Another thing to try would be to replace the INSERT statement with several, each using a different value for [ev-ctr]. Or else rather than using OR try using IN:
strSQ4 = "INSERT INTO [tbl-EVENTREPORT] " & _
"SELECT * FROM [tbl-EVENT DATA] " & _
"WHERE [ev-jobname] LIKE '?" & rptcode & "*' " & _
"AND [ev-ctr] IN('" & ctrOCC & "','" & ctrMTL & "','" & ctrBCC & "','" & ctrITS & "','" & ctrDAIN & "')" & _
"AND " & kinddate & _
"AND " & evstatus
Also, I notice that kinddate is set to effectively include all dates in one instance, and that evstatus is set to include both "EOJ" and "AEOJ" in one instance. Rather than including these fields as criteria in these cases, you may wish to not include them at all:
If state = 1 Then
evstatus = " AND [ev-status] = 'AEOJ'"
ElseIf state = 2 Then
evstatus = " AND [ev-status] = 'EOJ'"
ElseIf state = 3 Then
evstatus = " "
End If
And then you would rewrite " AND " & evstatus to & evstatus in the SQL statement.
A final thing to look at is to actually run the INSERT directly in the backend, rather than operating on linked tables in the frontend, as Access will be dragging vast amounts of data across the network and then sending it back. As a basic guide, something like this:
Sub sUpdateQuery()
Dim objAccess As New Access.Application
objAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase "J:\downloads\test.accdb"
objAccess.DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE test2 SET Field1=UCASE(Field1);"
objAccess.CloseCurrentDatabase
Set objAccess = Nothing
End Sub
Regards,
Applecore, Firstly, let me thank you for your insights. Unfortunately due to the nature of the way the data is processed, some of them I'm not sure I can implement. I have used debug.print statements to get a better idea of the timing.
You are correct, the INSERT statement is causing me the most problems, and only the second one. The deletes fly through almost instantly, no issues there. It's the second insert from the event data that is slowing it down.
I have been thinking about this since inception of how to nromalize more efficiently and create better relationships, but I'm stymied. My issue is, the data between the event table and the event table are related "in the world" but in no clear way in terms of data. There is no way to determine the relationship without a complex calculation. For example, the unique part of the application data is the application code. They are always unique. A single Application coordinator can have dozens of codes assigned to them, as can custodians, L3,L4, etc. Each event is related to an application, however, there is no specific field that is exported that tells the application code, it is obtained by parsing the event name (And yes, that is as archaic as it sounds). The event naming standards are standard mainframe 8 character names: .
For example PGRD1234 - Production job, GRD application, 1234 as the designator. So to determine what application the job is related to, I take the application code, and select LIKE with wildcards. It's not 100% accurate I am well aware, but to use wildcards, I seem to be stuck using LIKE. I haven't been able to make '=' work with wildcards. Can you?
You also mentioned "When you are inserting data into [tbl-EVENTREPORT], you are doing it when looping through a recordset - it may be faster to use an INSERT SQL statement." which I'm not sure what you are saying.. My apologies. I don't think I am understanding it. I think that is what I am doing now. I use the IIPM table to obtain the listing of the application codes I need to pull, then loop through that recordset to pull all of the event data for only those applications. As there is no direct correlation between the data, I Can't think of another way to do it.
The loop below hangs if the input fufills the Do...While condition.
This code is meant to first check if the entered product code in the combobox (Me!Combo_Product_number) exists in product code field of query Q_compliant_FCM_EU.
If it exists, it tests for compliance. The product is compliant if all its PURE_QP1 (which can be more than one for a particular product) is found in PURE_QP1 field of T_DOSSIER_FPL.
If at least one of them is not found, then it is not compliant.
Private Sub Command455_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rst As Recordset
Dim rst1 As Recordset
If Nz(Me!Combo_Product_number) <> "" Then
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("Q_compliant_FCM_EU", dbOpenDynaset)
Set rst1 = db.OpenRecordset("T_DOSSIER_FPL", dbOpenDynaset)
rst.FindFirst "[PRODUCT_CODE] = '" & Me!Combo_Product_number & "'"
If Not rst.NoMatch Then
Do While Not rst1.EOF
rst1.FindFirst "[PURE_QP1] = '" & rst.Fields("PURE_QP1") & "'"
If Not rst1.NoMatch Then
rst1.MoveNext
Else
MsgBox ("Product code is NOT compliant to FPL")
Exit Sub
End If
Loop
MsgBox ("Product code is compliant to FPL")
Else
MsgBox ("Product code is not available")
End If
End If
End Sub
What is wrong with the above code?
Use DLookup for such simple tasks, like:
Dim PURE_QP1 As Variant
If Nz(Me!Combo_Product_number) <> "" Then
PURE_QP1 = DLookup("[PURE_QP1]", "[Q_compliant_FCM_EU]", "[PRODUCT_CODE] = '" & Me!Combo_Product_number & "'")
If IsNull(PURE_QP1) Then
MsgBox ("Product code is not available")
Else
If IsNull(DLookup("[ID field of T_DOSSIER_FPL]", "[T_DOSSIER_FPL]", "[PURE_QP1] = '" & PURE_QP1 & "'")
MsgBox ("Product code is NOT compliant to FPL")
End If
End If
End If
I have been working on passing store procedures in different scenarios. Currently, I am trying to call a SP via pass-through query inside the do-while loop. I have a SP named usp_MovePending and a pass-through query qryPending. I have a code with do-while loop in which I have to call the SP.
Public Sub Import()
On Error Resume Next
Dim DB As Database
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim UserStr As String
Dim ROG As Date
Dim qdf As QueryDef
Dim sql As String
UserStr = sqlfixup(CurrentUser())
Set DB = CodeDb
Set rs = DB.OpenRecordset("select * from tblQty where materialid <> 0")
DoCmd.Hourglass True
Set qdf = DB.CreateQueryDef("")
qdf.Connect = SQLConnectString
qdf.ReturnsRecords = True
Do While rs.EOF = False
With MatManagement.Transactions
.BeginTransaction
.TransactionClassID = 1
.MaterialID = rs!MaterialID
.TransactionCreateUser = CurrentUser()
.TransactionDate = Date
.CommitTransaction
If .Failure <> True Or .TransactionID <> 0 Then
CodeDb.Execute "update tblMMTransactions set transNote = '" & sqlfixup(rs.Fields("note")) & "' where transactionid = " & .TransactionID, dbSeeChanges
End If
With CurrentDb.QueryDefs("qryPending")
.sql = "exec usp_MovePending #materialid=" & rs!MaterialID & ",#SysUser=" & " '" & UserStr & "'" & "," & " #ROG=getdate()" & ",#force= 1"
.Execute
End With
End With
rs.MoveNext
Loop
rs.Close
qdf.Close
DB.Close
DoCmd.Hourglass False
End Sub
In above code, I had added few lines of code in the old code which is shown as below:
With CurrentDb.QueryDefs("qryPending")
.sql = "exec usp_MovePending #materialid=" & rs!MaterialID & ",#SysUser=" & " '" & UserStr & "'" & "," & " #ROG=getdate()" & ",#force= 1"
.Execute
End With
When I debug my code, it retrieves the SP's parameter to pass-through query. But, I think my code is not calling SP (when I test SP by itself, it works just fine). I think SQL is waiting for some return values but Access is not returning anything. I tried different approaches but while researching many developers recommend to use this approach. Can anyone point out what I am missing out here?
Have you tried referencing the SP in VB rather than SQL?
With CurrentDb.QueryDefs("qryPending")
.sql = "exec " & usp_MovePending & " #materialid=" & rs!MaterialID & ",#SysUser=" & " '" & UserStr & "'" & "," & " #ROG=getdate()" & ",#force= 1"
.Execute
End With
What result does this give you?
Is the SP a global variable that the SQL can see? can you easily call it within the access query builder into a field? Or is it only seen by the VB code within a procedure?
I am trying to pull a list of names and email addresses from a tables in access and use that information to send out personalized emails. So I am trying to call 2 columns from access into an array and then using a loop to go through each row. I think this will be the best way to do it but i am open to other ideas. I have been able to generate code that produces one email with the first record, but i have no idea how to go about getting the rest of the records:
Private Sub SMT()
Application.Run "VariablesForRanges"
strDB1 = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\database.accdb"
strqry1 = "SELECT table1.name, table2.Email"
strqry1 = strqry1 & " FROM table2 inner join table1 on table1.FULL_NAME=table2.Name"
strqry1 = strqry1 & " group by table1.name, table2.Email;"
Set cn1 = New ADODB.Connection
cn1.Open "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & strDB1 & ";"
Set rs1 = New ADODB.Recordset
With rs1
Set .ActiveConnection = cn1
.Open strqry1
End With
If rs1.BOF = True Then
MsgBox "There Are No Records To Import", vbInformation
Else
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
strbody = "Hi " & rs1("name") & "," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"test" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Best regards," & vbNewLine & _
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = rs1("Email")
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End If
End Sub
Any help with creating an array and loop would be appreciated. Thanks.
Why not just loop through the record set?
Do While Not rs1.EOF
' create emails
rs1.MoveNext
Loop
I have a lot of files stored as attached files in an Access db. I am going to move data to an SQL server and for that purpose I need to extract the attached files and turn them into file system files.
This snippet works fine for images and pdf files but not for Office documents like Word or Excel. I assume it has something to do with encoding, but I have no clues. Any ideas?
Dim dbs As Database
Dim rs As Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rs = dbs.OpenRecordset("table1")
With rs
Do While Not .EOF
Set rsRec = rs.Fields("AttFiles").Value
While Not rsRec.EOF
NameOfFile = "C:\temp\" & rsFil.Fields("FileName")
Open NameOfFile For Binary Access Write As #1
Put #1, , rsRec.Fields("FileData").Value
Close #1
rsRec.MoveNext
Wend
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
rs.Close
dbs.Close
If the File is actually an attachment type, then you might as well use the Recordset2 of the Microsoft Access Object Library. Something like,
Public Sub exportDocument(tableName As String, fieldName As String, uniqueID As Long)
On Error GoTo Err_SaveImage
Dim rsParent As DAO.Recordset2
Dim rsChild As DAO.Recordset2
Dim saveAsName As String
Set rsParent = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT " & tableName & ".* " & _
"FROM " & tableName & " WHERE " & tableName & "." & fieldName & " = " & uniqueID)
Set rsChild = rsParent.Fields("fileData").Value
If rsChild.RecordCount <> 0 Then
If Dir(Environ("userprofile") & "\My Documents\tmp\", vbDirectory) <> "." Then MkDir Environ("userprofile") & "\My Documents\tmp\"
saveAsName = Environ("userprofile") & "\My Documents\tmp\" & rsChild.Fields("FileName")
rsChild.Fields("fileData").SaveToFile saveAsName
FollowHyperlink saveAsName
End If
Exit_SaveImage:
Set rsChild = Nothing
Set rsParent = Nothing
Exit Sub
Err_SaveImage:
If Err = 3839 Then
Resume Next
Else
MsgBox "Some Other Error occured!" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description, vbCritical
Resume Exit_SaveImage
End If
End Sub
The above code will save the files to a location specified in saveAsName. I have specific unique ID in the WHERE condition. If you want to export all documents, you can alter the code accordingly, but might have to loop through the recordset. I hope this helps !
