OK..i have 2 servers...1 inhouse and a dedicated webserver.
Same database that i run a DTP import package on. Data and packages are the same. The one on the inhouse server takes maybe an hour and 15 mins. the one on the webserver takes over 6 hours??
there are quite a few items running on the webserver vs the other. IIS for one and there are a few sites that are .net that use sql. How can i find out whats running and making this import run so long.

as far as server specs...they are similar, the only big difference is the inhouse is on a RAID 5 with scsi HHD and the webserver is SATA HHD on a RAID 1, both have 2 gigs of ram.

I take it the package is running on the server where the dtabase resides.
Where is the data being imported from? Is it a network issue.
Are there any different indexes on the web server table.
Is your database simple and the web one full.
Are there triggers on the web table.
Are there foreign keys?

You can see what's running by querying master..sysprocesses.
Have a look at this SP - you can change it to log to a table if you can't run it manually. Espcially look for blocking or increasing diskio.

If that doesn't give you anything check for disk errors.


==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

yes it is running on the that server, not over the network...no triggers or restrainst on that db....others im not sure...i'd ahve to look...and its importing to new tables and writes the indexs last
the db is set to full.
can i manage what is running on the master?
should stopping IIS be the best solution before running this?
