Hi Dennis,

 

Thanks for the comments. No, this is Oracle bug in the implementation of
the provider, since if we use (for example) Microsoft OLEDB provider,
these queries are not generated.

 

Anyway, thanks for your comments.

I am not an OLE / ADO programmer so I can't explain this properly. At a
previous job I had a good VB programmer accompany me and explain this
situation in terms that other VB programmers could understand. Here is
what I understand: ADO / OLE / VB can connect to many different data
sources. These sources can even be simple flat files. By default, it
assumes the data source is very simple, so it deals with it in a simple
manner. For Oracle, this works out to being asked to download the entire
table, which clogs the network. 

     My understanding is this isn't a bug, but a matter of choosing ADO
/ OLE / VB options to let it know that it is dealing with something more
sophisticated than a flat file.

     Perhaps someone else can provide more clarifying details.
