    There are a lot of things you can do to optimize procedures, but it sounds like your SQL statement is pretty simple. Some things to watch out for:

    • Inline functions. These can cause SQL to do a row by row evaluation and slow things down
    • Data conversions on join statements. These can prevent indexes from being used.
    • Make sure columns being joined on/in the where clause are indexed (for large data sets)
