My job is to convert an application from Paradox to Sql Server 2000. The app use BDE and it is not so difficult to change from Paradox to Sql Server, except I have performance issues. So now I have tried to use DbExpress instead of BDE. There are a little bit of improvement, but my app is still alot slower on sql server than it was on Paradox. Is Delphi so much slower on Sql Server than on Paradox ? Or am I doing something wrong ? I am working with big tables : 400 000 records.

This is normal when you use tables and you TableX.Open them. You have to use queries in order to see an improvement and/or to limit down the records with the where clause. Also a few setting on the sql-server setup, would help to improve the performance.

I am working with big tables : 400 000 records. 4,000,000 records is not a big table for any SQL database server. Your problem is most likely that you have not made the necessary changes in the design of your application.
