Hi Guys,

I noticed in the pro filer that an Stored procedure taking less reads but duration is uncountable ,
If i execute the same SP in Query window it returning results in a second

What might be the problem ,Please guide me

help us help you...when i read your question, i think the question is "when i profile my procedure, it never finishes. when i just run it, it is fast"
is that correct?

or is this a question about SOMETIMES your procedure is slow, and sometimes it is fast(parameter sniffing?)

Let me explain what actually happened
We found that application was slow ,So we switched on profiler to find the slow running query.
As we measure the performance of query/SP in terms of reads,CPU,Duration etc.we saw the SP which is taking less reads but uncountable duration (Milli seconds).We thought that this SP might slowing down the application and took the profiler data of that SP and executed in query window but it hardly took an second.If this Sp is not of performance issue then why the duration in profiler was very very high?
I hope you i reached you.

Did 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. It's highly likely due to parameter sniffing.

I ran whole SP,Then what might be the reason for uncountable duration for that SP?
Is there any way to reduce the duration?

Does your SP accepts parameters? 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.

Duration is the total time spent by that SP/Query. Its measured in milliseconds.
