Martin, Yes, that sounds like something that would cause considerable slowdown. I will be sure to check the structure next time I pull something in from OS. Ryan ------------------------------ Ryan Cook ORH LTD ------------------------------

RE: Variable MapInfo performance speeds between users

Yeah, unfortunately we don't have MapInfo or any applications beyond MSOffice on our local machines. But I still don't understand how a connection would make a difference when we aren't really sending data back-and-forth between local and server - we are just running something on the server that we have ...

Variable MapInfo performance speeds between users

Posted By Ryan Cook 03-26-2024 11:15
Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Hi, Our setup is a central server loaded with our applications that our office of 30 remote connect to. We probably have about 10 MapInfo users. The problem we are experiencing is a rather significant difference in performance with MapInfo from one user to another. As an example, when I run my MapBasic ...

Hi, We've recently got access to the osdatahub premium packages where you can download data in gpkg format. Our trouble is, the data is just so large we can't seem to work with it efficiently. Even when we choose a small area of interest, rather than the whole of GB (which is really what we need), ...

RE: Universal Translator

Yeah, I used UT because that was the instructions in the support documentation for OS MasterMap. I did actually try the method you describe above but I get nothing the unizipped GMLs but got the error message: "Unable to access file". So frustrating to be paying a provider who sends us data ...

Universal Translator

I don't get it. I have been sent data from Ordinance Survey which comes as a bunch of gml.gz files for whatever reason. The documentation says to import it into MapInfo using Universal Translator, but I don't have the format they specify. So I click on "Add Format" and it takes me to a seizure-inducing ...

GRID Thematic Problems

Posted By Ryan Cook 08-18-2023 06:21
Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
My program automates a grid thematic and I am experiencing two issues: 1) The error: "Metadata operations cannot be performed on this table" interrupts the program when it performs the Create Grid statement. Oddly, the grid is still created (it exists as a table that I can find and add to the map window). ...

Brilliant Peter, I suspected there was a logical way to think about the problem, I just couldn't find the angle. Hardcoding an alias via a select Query is perfect. Thanks again Peter! Ryan ------------------------------ Ryan Cook ORH LTD ------------------------------

Hi Peter, no problem - I have been on vacation too! Right, per your message above, wouldn't aBase = UserTab & "." & UserCol simply become "Incidents.Usercol.Incidents.Usercol", seeing as Usercol is a variable which is populated by the user choosing a column via an input statement (and therefore already ...

Longitude/Latitude (WGS 84) naming convention ambiguity

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Dear Precisely, The manner in which the latest release catalogs projections in the UI exasperates an ambiguity in naming convention. In the previous release MapInfo 16, users selected projection via a UI that first selected from the "Category" level, then a "Category Member". This meant when searching ...

Using a column alias with a query of the source table

Hello! I have the user choosing a table (populates a string variable) then choosing a column from that table (populates an alias variable). Let call the table "Incidents", and the column "Node". I later run a select query against Incidents, into "_CROPPED". I then want to run an insert thus: ...

Apologies for the late reply, Peter - I have been on holiday and the reminders of this thread were pushed down the queue in my inbox. Thanks for taking a look at this. The "unsupported character set: UTF-16" error still persists (but I have found a workaround) but the odd comma problem has vanished mysteriously. ...

I could be going mad, or becoming incompetent in my old age, but it seems ever since the recent update I have been experiencing problems I have never come across before.  The first problem I encountered was where I exported some tables to MIF to share with our client. To check if the exports were ...
