Update statement - query performance

    I have a update statement which takes more than 1 minute but if i do select statement with same where clause it took less than 10 seconds...Not sure why the update statement is taking so long....Is it because i have too many indexes on those tables??....

    Does having case statement in where clause hinders the performance of query??

    I tried to analyse execution plan, which had some Key Lookup's and RID lookups but i just don't want to include all the columns from key lookups inside include statement(as there are close to 6 columns)

    I have attached execution plan

    Thanks

    Drop the NOLOCK hints, they will be ignored anyway as this is an UPDATE.

    Also, this looks like an estimated execution plan, the actual execution plan would be much more helpful.

    Here is the actual execution plan

    I'm not able to open this after saving it. Are you sure this is a 2005 execution plan?

    BTW. There are some serious performance problems to be had with UPDATE in T-SQL if you don't do certain things correctly. I can't, however, tell if the problems are actually present by looking at the execution plan only. Any chance of you posting the actual code for the UPDATE?
