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

[Johanna Botman]

Hi Sunil,

We capture asset data for a local council. There are 27 tables in the database representing each asset category. We have times when the demand for the import is higher eg at the end of the calendar year and at the end of the financial year. When it is busy, we can be adding 2-3000 assets per week. Some of the tables already contain 45 000+ assets.

We have no alternatives to software. IT won’t allow it.

Hi!


Can you please share the purpose and process for that you are using QGIS and SQL Server (Multi user).
So that I can suggest you another alternate for the same purpose which is fast as well as easy to
operate for multi users.



Thanks

Sunil

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?
