Loading Report from Database

rbuser

Hi,
Delphi6 , RBuilder 7.04

We use to load Report Template on TPPReport from database at runtime. Will
it slowdown my performance in terms of speed ?

The report saved into Database is not compiled while the report saved in
file/component is compiled is it so ?

DIPAK.

Hi Dipak,

A report template saved to database is identical to a template saved to
file. Both tempaltes will be loaded by the template object and processed at
runtime in the same way. The speed in which report templates can be loaded
from a database will depend on many other factors including how fast your
DB/network is, and how large your templates are.

If you are running over a network, you may want to compress the stream and
manually save it yourself (savetostream, loadfromstream). Also you may also
compare the ASCII or other format (don't have Delphi up)--I would guess the
native format is easier to read (though I like the ASCII format as I can do
comoparisons in them in critical reports).
