[Qgis-user] MS SQL Server, multi users and QGIS v3+

[Johanna Botman]

Hi,

I have a situation where there are three of us using QGIS v3.4 connecting to a Microsoft 2016 SQL Server to add and edit items to tables in the same database at the same time. And I'm growing old waiting for things to happen.

When we were all in the office, we connected through the work network to the databases in the cloud and suffered some issues with delay that may be caused by internet speed. Now that we are all working from home, we have the added complexity of connecting to our home Wi-Fi then a VPN to the office before we then go out to the cloud.

But now the bottom line is that no more than one user at a time can edit the tables. Responses are painfully slow and by mid-afternoon, QGIS is completely unresponsive.

Users love to blame the software. That's what they are interacting with, but I don't believe that it is all QGIS' problem. I'd prefer to blame a database that appears to not respond well to a multi user environment.

Does anyone have any ideas, or strategies, to troubleshoot?
