In-Database Data Stream Out and/or Browse In-DB tools causing flow to stall/freeze

Question

Hi all,

I've had this issue a few times now on various Alteryx flows. They run fine in a few minutes at most, but as soon as I add a browse in-DB tool or a Data Stream Out tool, the flow slows to the point where it is completely unusable. I added a count of records and streamed that out and there were only 200 records, but it took 23 minutes to complete. Does anyone know a reason for this happening, and if there is any solution for it?

The data is coming from a SQL Server database.

Thanks in advance.

hi @domlewis15

it happened to a workflow i was builfing a few months ago and in my case the problem was the driver I was using.

I was connecting to SQL Server using ODBC driver and changed it to OLDB and it performs better.

Anyway, always you put a datastream out you load the data locally and it increments the time it takes to process. Try make just the count with the IN DB browser

I hope it helps
