SQL server backend

[inungh]

My mdb file is moving tables from mdb backend to ODBC link to SQL
server tables, but queries are in the front end.

Should I change the queries to stored procedures to increase
performance or I can leave the queries in the front end mdb file that
the SQL server analyze the queries at server end even I have queries
in the front end?

Your information is great appreciated,

In many cases I find that the performance of queries that are using links to
MS SQL database have very good performance. In some cases stored procedures
are faster or have more capability.

I generally just use odbc to do the queries unless I am having a performance
problem. If I do have performance problems I will then look at alternative
solutions - pass through queries, stored procedures, etc.

I have tables in SQL server with millions of records and unless I do something
foolish (like return a million records) the performance is fine.

I'll echo John's observations ...

Unless there are performance issues, I tend to keep the queries in the
front-end. The one exception is when I need to repeatedly (i.e., in several
different contexts) work with the same "filtered" subset of data. In that
instance, I'll create one/more views in SQL-Server and link to the view(s).
That would be another alternative to creating SPs.

Good luck!
