Very Simple Stored Procedure Will Time Out


I have a problem with this one stored procedure that works 99% of the time throughout our application, but will time out when called from a particular part of the application.

The table only has 3 columns and contains about 300 records. The stored proc will only bring back one record and looks like this

"Select * from Table Where Column = @parameter"

When the sp is executed in management studio it takes :00 seconds.

The stored procedure is used a lot in our application, but only seems to time out in one particular part of our program. I can't think of any reason why such a simple sp would time out. Any ideas?

This is a vb.net desktop application and using sql server 2005.


Solution

  • You've got some code that's already holding a lock on the table so it can't be read.
