Title: Increasing Database Applications Performance
Question: Using Disable Controls.
Answer:
Disable controls method of dataset can reduce the processing time when you have to do some mass operation on a table/query. How it works? Simply.
table1.disablecontrols;
//your code here like:
//table1.first;
//while not table1.eof do
// begin
// table1.fields[1].asstring:='A value';
// table1.next;
// end;
table1.enablecontrols;
Inside the bloc disablecontrols enablecontrols, the operations are executed directly on your dataset, without changing dbaware controls (like dbgrid). After EnabledControls, the changes will be reflected on your dbaware components.
Note: A better code snippet is:
try
table1.disablecontrols;
//your code here
finally
table1.enablecontrols;
end;
You know why is better...
