FIX: Query Performance Slower When Client Locale Differs from Server Locale (291364)

CAUSE

The locale of the computer where the Analysis Server is running is used to set the locale of the Analysis Server. If a query is received from a client that has the same locale, the server is able to execute the query on the Analysis Server when appropriate. However, if the locale of the client does not match the locale of the server, the data is transferred to the client for processing.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (the Analysis Services Components - Sql2kasp1.exe). For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
