Hi Vishal,
Thanks for your prompt reply, Actullay I am executing the the query by bacthes itself. But the error coming when executing that single update statement.
''update tblGatewayPersons SET ImportDataXML_NT = ImportDataXML_NT''.
Table space is

| What is that update statement intented for?It seems like it is setting a column to ITSELF. I was hoping that the query optimizer would see that and generate a trivial execution plan. Since it does not, and since there are no where clauses to limit the number of rows it will update the whole table. If it is an XML column, depending the size of the XML data, it can be resource intensive. |

this is not batch update
the above update fires over entire table in one shot.
My suggestion was to do it in batches by iterating through a loop taking a definite amount of records and processing them each time
also i see the above update is trivial ie setting same column to itself. whats the purpose of this?
