Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 40682
OOo very slow by accessing database
Last modified: 2006-05-31 14:29:06 UTC
I've a large table (about 800K lines) that I commonly use for generating pivot table under Excel. The table is contained inside an Access Database. The pivot table with an avarage operation is performed in about 2 minutes. I've ported the table into a DBF and MySQL database in order to perform te same operation with Calc. The same operation is performed in about 10 hours which means that the OOo access to the database it's very very slow with respect to Excel/Access. I've tried to perfom the operation with several different configuration: - Linux and Windows - OOo 1.1.4 and 1.9.69 - ODBC, JDBC and native support The result is always the same: it's impossible to elaborate a large mass of data comining from DB. I've also tried to move data from a DBF table to a MySQL table with drag and drop: about 6 hours of time needed. Davide
I have noticed similar performance problems with an Excel file containing 3000 lines on Mac X11 OOo 1.1.3 compared to native Mac Excel, it is excruciatingly painstaking even just to filter on one criteria. This has made it unusable at my workplace for my colleagues. I have since converted the base to a mysql table including a primary auto-increment key where performance is better.
I set this issue to duplicate to issue 51151. In the new issue I have create a defined test datenbank and have measure the time ffor each action. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 51151 ***
