  • 0

I am working on tuning a stored procedure. It is a huge stored proc and joins tables that has about 6-7 million records.

My question is how do I determine the time spent in the components of the proc. The proc has 1 big select with many temp tables created on the fly (read sub-queries).

I tried using SET STATISTICS TIME ON, SET SHOWPLAN_ALL ON.

I am looking to isolate a chunk of code that takes the most time and not sure of how to do it.

Please help.

PS: I did try to google it, searched on Stackoverflow……….No luck. Here is one question that I looked at
How to improve SQL Server query containing nested sub query

Any help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I would try out SQL Sentry’s SQL Plan Explorer. It gives you visual help in finding the problem. It is also a free tool. It highlights the bits that cost a lot of I/O or CPU, versus a generic percent.

    Here’s where you can check it out:
