We have created an OLE DB Provider for an ISAM database that does not support
SQL Queries but does support indexes and IRowsetFind. When an SQL query
involves an index column, the SQL Server query runs very fast. However, when
there is no index column the query runs very slow if the table has many
records. We cannot figure out how to get SQL Server to use IRowsetFind. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.

As always, you need to look at the query plan. It will give you some idea
what is going on.

But generally, I don't think you should have too high expectations.
Linked servers is a difficult area, and I doubt that SQL Server has a
repetoire to cover all possible cases about which interfaces that may
be implemented.
