I have a SP that is run 100,000's of times per day. It is a simple select statement that grabs about 15 columns all on the same table, most of these values are datatype INT. Awhile back I switched it from doing 15 joins onto other tables such as "tblstates" that for example contained 2 columns (id, statename) .. I now just run a SELECT CASE in the ASP code on that number and display the appropriate info.

Anybody have any thoughts/comments on this? It seemed to work faster but I haven't done any official tests nor will I be able to for quite some time.

Thanks
MIke

Now that you ask, I'd also be interested to hear comments about both these options vs user defined functions.....

Not really a lot to say Mike. If you say it's running faster with ASP we can not really disagree.

There may be ways to speed up your sql code, but I can't really guess how.

If the ASP seems to run faster, stick with it.
