So, whenever I run a query to fetch record whose company name like '%a' it takes lot of time to fetch the record. I am using ADO (NO SP USED) for it and the application is developed in ASP.How can i speed up the search.. its a simple query with only one table.Thankx." |

| Your slowness is due to a full table scan on SQL Server and returning a lot of rows back across the ADO connection. Some suggestions:1. Use a stored procedure2. Index the search fields3. Don't allow wildcards at the beginning of a string unless necessary (causes full table scan)4. Consider a redesign. Is there 2500+ clients or are the clients stored multiple times? |
