>>I recently switched from using views to using sql pass through. I have an operation that inserts about 6800 records. With the switch from views to sql pass thru the time has increased significantly. The sqlpassthru command that inserts the records inserts each individually and runs for 100 seconds. Is there something I missed when doing this or should I have stayed with views?

I do recall having my views set to pk only. I connect to oracle via sqlstringconnect([dsn=GBG DDE LM;uid=dsd;pwd=dbuser;],.T.) and the only other change I make to the connection is to do manual transactions for all my updates and do an sqlcommit when done. I will have a look at how the updates are being done.
