    David Benoit (4/30/2009)


    If you feel up to it save the execution plan out and post it up for others to look at.

    Absolutely.

    There are cases where the 2005/2008 optimiser comes...

  • RE: TIMEOUT error (client thinks it's SQL Server)

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlcommand.commandtimeout.aspx

    The time in seconds to wait for the command to execute. The default is 30 seconds.

    So if you don't specify a command timeout, it's set at 30 sec.

    If you don't do any changes at all, mark the databases as readonly and SQL will take no locks when querying it.
