If yes, pls modify the parameters to different sets of values and observe the time taken by it. is it same?Profiler does nothing but gives you details of the SP which was invoked by a process or a user.Wed, 17 Nov 2010 02:46:39 GMTps.http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1021496-360-1.aspxI ran whole SP,Then what might be the reason for uncountable duration for that SP?Is there any way to reduce the duration?Wed, 17 Nov 2010 02:34:01 GMTningaraju.nhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1021496-360-1.aspxDid you run the SP or did you run the T-SQL code which is part of SP?If it is latter, I'll agree with Lowell's second point.
