i am looking at performance troubles we are having with our SQL Server 2000 box. Looking at long running / CPU intensive queries using Profiler the sp_datatype_info stored procedure gets used an awful lot by one of our VB6 applications. It is not called explicitly in the code. Anyone any idea what calls it? All I can think is that the ODBC driver is using it. Any suggestions other than throwing myself/the server out the window gratefully received

perhaps using ADO stored procs without supplying Params (in vb6)?

Might be worth a go. The App is using RDO but we've just rolled out XP clients (which have new SQL Drivers). I'm thinking that that may be the cause. Although maybe I should be worrying that a SQL system stored procedure is showing up as a long running thing?
Thanks for your post
