i have an asp page that updates 1000's of records in a database. Im trying to improve the speed and have a question.

1) is it fast and more effeciant to combine on my updates and then perform db execution (i.e. combinesqlstatement = "update table set field = 1 where field 2 = x; update table set field = 1 where field 2 = x2; update table set field = 1 where field 2 = x3"

or

perform one db execution per update. So there would be 1000's of individual DB executed updates

Thanks for any advice

If it is always the same table you perhaps can find a logic to do more updates in one statement?

are you running an SP ? From your web page ?

you probably will get timeouts on an asp page if you are running it directly
