stored proc taking too long!

  • Methinks you're going too complex

    CREATE TABLE #tempFileName (

    FileNumber INT IDENTITY,

    FileName varchar(50)

    )

    INSERT INTO #TempFileName (FileName)

    SELECT DISTINCT Filename FROM #Temp

    UPDATE #Temp

    SET FileNumber = #tempFileName.FileNumber

    FROM #tempFileName WHERE #tempFileName.FileName = #Temp.FileName

    Yes? No? Almost, but not quite?

    The more info you can provide on a problem, the faster and better the help you will get. It may seem obvious to you, but we're not there, we don't know the background or the details.

    Did you come right with your first problem? If not, please post the code you have, some sample data and what you want, and I'll see if I can spot the problem with it.

    Thanks again for all your help!
