    Hi Lydia

     

    I have rebuilt the data set from the ground up starting with all of the tables from one Sql server then making changes to these before introduction the tables from another sql server.

     

    This seems to have fixed the issue, and the report is refreshing in minutes when before just making one change in the query was taking hours to update.

     

    Thanks for you help and comments :-)

     

    Kind Regards

     

    Thomas

I have seen this in Oracle too. The problem was that the data type in the columns I merged were different types. When I changed the data types in theese columns to the same (Number) then the merge went may times faster.
