I deliberately used the slower method of accessing data from TC2005.  The query executed in about 4 minutes for all quotes using these settings.

You're right, I stand corrected.  It was a " harddrive"  option that you could take at one time vs something else

that was slower,...but that was a year or so before TC2005. 

 

Sorry couldn't help.  I've got a friend with TC2005 that I could ask to run that screen for you?

Hi Joe,

 

The new TC2005 database is now completely on my hard drive.  Not sure and doubt it if it gets loaded into RAM (if that is what you are asking).   My TC2005 software is lightning fast.  But that is it’s native DB and am sure it is optimized for displaying the pre-calculated results.  I say that because when you update (retrieve prices) the database it runs through and performs all of the calculations for all of my PCFs etc.

At one time when I subscribed to TC2000 a couple of years ago, there was an option in TC2000 to make the data,  memory based.  i.e. one could execute some process that moved the TC2000 data from disk to memory, so that at every  TC2000

start up it made that move, and the TC2000 screens were much faster.  I don't know if the recent versions still have that limitation, but I bet if  your access  every ticker array via the plug in from the disk you'll see slow access.  Key question ... how does your TC2000 installation behave when you perform a TC2000 screen?  You might check this out and ask TC help desk about this.

Dave,

That scan time does seems awfully long. I ran a simple scan of
C>=(Ref(C,-1)*1.20) and it took only about 2 minutes on an older Dell
Computer.
I am not sure how to keep all the data from loading as I have the same
issue with QP but there might be some other issues that are also
affecting your scan times.

You might check out Dan Clark's batch scripts or Fred's Batman to help
automate the task as well which might also save you some run time.

Regards,
