  We're running a small scale application on SQL2000 SP4 (personal edition) with only 1 user. Got a stored procedure which suddenly takes 7 hours to complete with incorrect results compared to previous runs which only took 5 minutes (and correct results). No problem with other procedures or queries regarding performance. DBCC didn't see any errors. We're able to reproduce the situation (on a different machines) by extracting the code from the production machine (using generate script) using SQL Analyzer/Enterprise Manager. It takes then 7 hours to execute/complete. However, when we take the original script from the developers and recr ...Show All
