Re: Exporting data through SQL View

 

Could you provide more information about your setup?

 How much RAM does your server or servers have?

What is the query you are attempting to execute?

Where is the timeout occurring (through the Web or from the database
itself)?

What does your "About DHIS2"  say?

Have you performed and of the suggested performance upgrades in the
implementation manual?

Regards
