(I think your application is working in >this manner) That's it! It takes exactly 8 seconds like my program. I retrieve the data through a bound column: SELECT * FROM tblItem WHERE intItemIDCnt = ? After converting this to SELECT * FROM tblItem WHERE intItemIDCnt IN (...) the query is as fast as psql: 409ms So the problem is identified and the solution is to recode my application. Rainer PS: When enabling UseDeclareFetch as suggested by Tom then the runtime is still three times slower: 1192ms. But I guess that problem is for the ODBC list.
