Here’s my scenario:

I have a simple stored procedure that removes a specific set of rows from a table (we’ll say about 30k rows), and then inserts about the same amount of rows. This generally should only take a few seconds; however, the table has a trigger on it that watches for inserts/deletes, and tries to mimic what happened to a linked table on another server.

This process in turn is unbareably slow due to the trigger, and the table is also locked during this process. So here are my two questions:

  1. I’m guessing a decent part of the slowdown is due to the transaction log. Is there a way for me to specify in my stored procedure that I do not want what’s in the procedure to be logged?
  2. Is there a way for me to do my ‘DELETE FROM’ and ‘INSERT INTO’ commands without me locking the table during the entire process?

Thanks!

edit – Thanks for the answers; I figured it was the case (not being able to do either of the above), but wanted to make sure. The trigger was created a long time ago, and doesn’t look very effecient, so it looks like my next step will be to go in to that and find out what’s needed and how it can be improved. Thanks!

  1. 1) no, also you are not doing a minimally logged operation like TRUNCATE or BULK INSERT

    2) No, how would you prevent corruption otherwise?
