I have a linked server configuration which is sql 2k -> sql 2k. I can delete one row from the remote server but it takes about 90 seconds. If i select same row it takes just 2 seconds. The table that i want to delete has about 700.000 records. The table is properly indexed. Is there any ideas to reduce delete execution time?


Thanks.

I take it you have to do the delete via the linked server? Can't have a SP on the remote server, and invoke it from the local server?

I have heard of performance issues (not yet seen proof/example) where certain activites require the return of the entire table across the linked server to complete the action. Am wondering if that might be an example.
