If it says ALTER VIEW, guess what's happening. The deadlock error is not going to lie to you.

I'm with Luis. I don't like the normalization on DVD. I'll go one further, there is a movie (Luis used title) and there is the physical DVD itself. These are...

But even with that filter, it's still going to show an execution count that is cumulative for the time that the query in question has been in cache. If you...

The TABLOCK is probably the way to go, but understand, you're likely to be blocked by processes that are reading from the table. You can't take that kind of lock...

Yeah, that will reduce the number of values, but most people don't hit the issue. But, if you do, you can RESEED and set the seed to -1 and the...

It means that even though you define the column as INT, if a given value would have fit within TINYINT, then that's what gets defined and stored for that value....

So a restore of the database on dev and the proc runs good, but in production the proc runs bad?

Sounds like a server setting and/or hardware then. Without that, I'd...

Do you have third party software installed on one of the servers for doing backups?

Can you restore the backup on the original server (if it's production, obviously, move it to a different database in the restore)?

You might want to go look at the documentation for SP3. Maybe there's something that if fixes that mess with restores from SP2. That's my best guess at the moment.

Yeah, everything that was between SP1 & SP2 will be included. Anything after SP2 will not.

Deadlocks will present themselves as errors, not just a long running proc.

I agree it could be blocking. Check to see if there are blocking issues. Does your production server have...
