Thread: Slow Reports after upgrade to 7.01 from 6.11

Slow Reports after upgrade to 7.01 from 6.11 Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

In 6.11 we were able to use Server side grouping so that the Query being sent to the provider was filtered with the Where Clause. In 7.01 it looks as if they have removed that ability through the provider and now the Entire results set is returned and Crystal is filtering the desired rows.
Does the XML Filters apply in the same way or do they actually filter query being sent to the provider?

OK, I think I answered my own question, this really sucks. Is there anyway I can manipulate the query that crystal is sending to the provider?

You did answer your own question and, no, there isn't. The reason is that the provider tailors the query that the user/crystal produces to ensure that it is security aware. That is - you can generate a report that does select * from contact for example and it will automatically add the where conditions to ensure it adds the team security.

I was hoping for another solution, We are a software company also integrate with crystal reports. Its a shame that they don't use the same method that our engineers do with the crystal integration.
1.) Call to crystal to provide us the query that it is using
2.) Change the where clause on the qeury
3.) Return the new query to the report
4.) Run the report through the provider

I was hoping that thier would be xml tags for changing the query before it was passed to the provider.

I understand how SLX executes the query, saves the data with the report then filters the results based on the provider filters, I just know there is a better way and its fustrating that I can do anything about it.
