Hi,
I have been told to go to a client site and find out why their sql server slows down during/after a data feed. They have a shopping site.

I do know that this is abit unclear but what do I start looking into when I get there?

I do have some clues but I just would like to know how you deal with such an issue.

Thanks

STATISTICS!!! The first thing I would look at is indexes.

During the data feed will just be due to the way they are doing it - probably just inserting into tables or heavy merging. They should either change it to work with a live site or live with it.
Being slow afterwards is probably due to recovering from the load - recompiling, checkpoints etc.

Why are they sending you?

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