Optimizing Queries
The Access Database Engine includes an Optimizer that looks at how long it takes to perform each task needed to produce the required query results. It then produces a plan for the shortest path to get the results that you want. This plan is based on several statistics: 1. The amount of data in each table included in the query 2. How many data pages are in each table 3. The location of each table included in the query 4. What indexes are available in each table 5. Which indexes are uniqueUnderstanding the Query Compilation Process
The statistics just listed are updated whenever the query is compiled. For a query to be compiled, it must be flagged as needing to be compiled. The flag can be any of the following occurrences: 1. Changes are saved to the query. 2. Changes are saved to any tables underlying a query. 3. The database is compacted. After the Access Database Engine flags a query as needing to be compiled, it isn't compiled until the next time the query is run. During compiling, which takes 1–4 seconds, all statistics are updated, and a new optimization or Query Plan is produced.NOTE
Because a Query Plan is based on the number of records in each table included in the query, you should open and save your queries each time the volume of data in a table changes significantly. This is especially true when you're moving your query from a test environment to a production environment. If you test your application with a few records in each table and the table's production data soon grows to thousands of records, your query will be optimized for only a few records and won't run efficiently. I handle this problem by compacting the production database on a regular basis.This material orginally appeared in Alison Balter's book Mastering Microsoft Office Access 2007 Development.
