I am managing a relatively large literature set (24K entries, a large amount with source PDF). Within our group we share this on a newly created SQL database.
When I want to add a new item into our database, jabref freezes. It takes up to 10 minutes for the “add new entry” window to open, during which the program is not responding. After looking through the different forums I have tried to improve/troubleshoot this using the various settings, however to no avail.
The database itself is not the bottleneck.
Does anyone here have a suggestion what I could try next?
Unfortunately, this is a kind of known issue. I already took a more in-depth look at it some time ago and tried to improve this (do not run expensive operations on the UI Thread); however, that turned out to have some other unwanted side effects… Maybe I find some time to take another look at this issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
this post by my colleague is already ~4-5 months old. We still haven´t solved the issue.
First question: Have you found some time to take another look at that problem?
Second question: As we are really interested in solving that issue - Would you be available for an even more detailed exchange with on of our IT experts?
Sorry to say that I haven’t found time to look into this again yet, and sorry that you have to live with these problems. Please keep in mind that we are all working in our spare time (despite having a day job) at JabRef. However, we try our best to provide a good user experience and to timely solve bugs.
Would it be possible to provide us a copy of the bib file? You can send it privately to web@jabref.org, and we will keep it private.

It is possibly a good idea to get to know some more about your setup and infrastructure.
