With 45 cursors in one sproc he will never know which ones are taking the longest unless he implements some logging.
This is why I suggested he inserts a record into a log table at the beginning and end of each cursor. He can then work out from his log table the cursors which are taking the longest time?
At least then he can concentrate on tackling the worst cursors rather than recoding them all to set based.

It takes a minimal capacity for rational thought to see that the corporate 'free press' is a structurally irrational and biased, and extremely violent, system of elite propaganda.

Society has varying and conflicting interests; what is called objectivity is the disguise of one of these interests - that of neutrality. But neutrality is a fiction in an unneutral world. There are victims, there are executioners, and there are bystanders... and the 'objectivity' of the bystander calls for inaction while other heads fall.
