    Hi friends,

    I am running an update query.

    It is taking long time. To find the estimated completion time i checked sys.dm_exec_request or sys.dm_exec_session or sp_who2 but there is no clue. It is showing as zero.

    can any one help on this please.

    Regards,

    SAM

    Post the query, please. There's a typcial problem that many folks write into their update queries without knowing about it. To summarize the problem, if the UPDATE contains a JOIN, the target table MUST absolutely appear in the FROM clause. Using tablename.columnname is NOT sufficient and that form of UPDATE never appears in Books Online.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
