I’m having a problem with vfp9 on Windows 7 64-bit. I’ve found that create sql view is taking 5-6 seconds. These happen instantaneous in XP. When my app starts up, I’m doing a few of these, so in Win 7, my app is taking 30+ seconds longer to start up than in XP. My views look like this:

create sql view MyView remote connection MyConn as select * from MyTable

I’ve also found that calling dbsetprop is adding another 1-2 seconds in Win 7. Again its instantaneous in XP.

dbsetprop('MyView.MyPk', 'Field', 'KeyField', .T.)
dbsetprop('MyView.MyPk', 'Field', 'Updatable', .T.)

Once created, the views work as they should. No slowness on with platform.

Does anyone have any ideas about what I could try or any info on what is/could be causing this?

Thank you in advance.

    Found the solution.

    Write caching was being disabled on the drive by the raid controller software included with the machine.

    Write caching was enabled under Device Manager > Disk Drive > Properties > Polices. However the software was overriding this setting.

    It can be reproduced without the raid software by unchecking it in Windows 7 Polices.
