slow sql response.

  • in sql 2000 a table has large number of rows

    while creating the index on a field to system goes unresponsive for a long time

    so I canceled the operation

    After that the response time of the server has increased. get worse

    I created the same index again but the response. time has not improved.

    how I can resolve this issue.

  • update stats for the DB and check if it helps

  • It's really hard to say based on the information provided. Are you sure that the slow response on the system is due to this table in particular? If so, do you have an actual execution plan for the queries run against that table? Those will tell you whether or not the index you added is one that is needed.

    Do you have statistics maintenance routines running? Do you defragment your indexes when needed? Does the table have a clustered index?
