Hi,

I must had that VFP ODBC IS FAST when you know how to use it: do not use functions in the indexes of your tables... A simple UPPER(field) slows down the query a lot: from instantaneous to 5 seconds for a 35k records table for a select of a record where the only WHERE clause was upper(field_name) = 'SOMETHING'. The field name was a 10 caracters fields and the primary key of the table.

So to optimize the queries, no upper (nor DTOS, etc.) in the indexes that the ODBC driver will use to optimize the query.
