| sp_OACreate is creating an instance of an OLE object - probably a COM object or somesuch.The likelihood is that this OLE object is then being used to process data. Its quite a slow process, particularly if it is going to be used (in a loop, or cursor) to process many rows (i.e. as this will be a linear operation, rather than a set-based one which is what SQL Server is good at!)Kristen |
