Any help will be appriciated..

Hi!

Have the servers got the same hardware, operating system and SQL server version? Are the servers configurations equal? Is the data in the tables queried the same on both servers? Are the tables indexed equally on both servers? Do they have the same workload?

Regards,
Kalle Dahlberg

couple of things....


1. compare the query plans on both servers.
2. compare SQL Profiler logs on both servers....having activiated them to log the appropriate SQL activities before the queries run.


if you problem is SQL related....one or both of those will have the information to the source of the problem. If you don't find something there, then the problem may be a general server performance problem....pointing to something like overall CPU Load, overall disk sub-system performance, memory demand problems.

What version of sql server?
v7sp3+ takes a lot longer than v7sp2- (but has the advantage of working)

Check that you are using all processors and have similar memory available.
Other than that it's down to indexes, fragmentation, page splitting, logging, ...

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
