This is certainly not our experience with WebDB. We have about 75 reports, many of which link to other reports for "drill-down" through several levels, running on both Solaris 2.6 and Red Hat 6.2. The reports use 9 tables, and table size varies from 200,000 rows to 1.3 million rows. Performance is good ( 1- 2 seconds) on all the reports. We have especially liked the ease of building the WebDB reports, and the ease of establishing access controls to the reports. We have written several stored procedures which allow us to link the reports together in a very helpful way, and to place change-password and download-as-excel-file links on each report output display. We think WebDB is a fine product.
