Hi i has a Report which pulls 900 records from a 5 million Data set. Actually i have tuned my Stored Procedure.While running the Sp against SQL SERVER Database it was taking only few sec(4) but when i run that Report which uses that SP it was taking almost 45 sec to show up the data on report manager. In this case how can i tune in Report Manger.Why the both times are different?

Hi - Is your stored procedure using parameters from the report? If so, then I had a similar experience. I'd run the stored proc and it would run in a few seconds when running via SSMS...but then the report would take forever (or very close!) to run. As it turned out the problem had to do with a poor/incorrect execution plan being used because of parameter sniffing. Try google (or bing) sql server stored procedure and parameter sniffing. Basically, what I had to do (and you might too) is to spoof the parameters in the stored proc. So, instead of this: Create Procedure MyProc @Param1 datetime , @Param2 nvarchar(50) AS Declare @MyParam1 datetime = @Param1 Declare @MyParam2 nvarchar(50) = @Param2 SELECT Column1, Column2 FROM dbo.Table1 t Where t.Column1 = @MyParam1 And t.Column2 = @MyParam2 I had to do this...and the results were great...back to excellent performance for the query: Create Procedure MyProc @Param1 datetime , @Param2 nvarchar(50) AS Declare @MyParam1 datetime = @Param1 Declare @MyParam2 nvarchar(50) = @Param2 SELECT Column1, Column2 FROM dbo.Table1 t Where t.Column1 = @MyParam1 And t.Column2 = @MyParam2 Hope this helps. - will - will
