slow exporting/importing data in gdbs

[Dylan Raethel]

Hi all,

As part of a publishing process we regularly (usually meny times a day) move
data between gdbs on different frontier installations. Currently this is
done by creating a temporary guest database on the source box, copying the
desired stuff into it, and then opening the temp gdb on the destination box,
and copy/pasting into the destination gdb.  It works but is a bit clunky.

What would be much better for us is to be able to make use of the
export/import function... for various reasons it would be an improvement,
but we've just discovered that Frontier seems to be a bit of a slow-poke as
far as imports of large (well a few mb anyway) fttbs...  the GUI freezes for
a few minutes while it sorts it's self out, and then it springs to life...
it's a bit awkward given that we have to sit there while it's happening.

Has anyone else incountered really s-l-o-w imports, and better yet, has
anyone managed to speed them up in any way?

Thanks, Dylan Raethel
