HI,
I am running a script in test environment and using sql 2008. the script will do inserts and update some 1 million rows.
It has been running for last 12 hours. when i checked in activity monitor, spid shows as suspended and waittype shows 'pageIOlatchwait_EX' , and very next second waittype shows as 'waitfor'
Does that mean it will resume or has it stopped?
how to check, where the waits happening...

Updating a million rows should take scant seconds. Post the update query... I may know what's wrong.

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.

Yes, Inserting a few million records just takes a few seconds.....I have a feeling you are getting data from one table....performing RBAR operations on the data and then Inserting the data into another table........That's just a hitch....Need to see your script to be sure. Please post the script you are using.
