I have to wait 30 to 40 seconds per order for the system to update the customer database. At 100 orders or more a night thats a lot of time waiting for the system to do its thing. Is there the possibility of having the system dump the updates to a temp file and doing an update at the end of the shift.
This should definitely *not* happen. It sounds like a NIC, HUB, SWITCH might not be working properly. Also check the wiring. On a 10/100 network with anywhere below 10,000 customers it should almost be instantaneous. What is the "Local" performance like on the machine where the database is actually installed?
