Hello guys,

I have one fundamental question about stored procedures and select statements. I have a stored procedure which i basically use for matching information in the database. Thus, in the stored proc I do a lot of select queries on a "view" i have created. Also, this stored procedure is goin to run over half a million of records.

So my question is, will the select queries hamper my server's performance too bad??

-Thanks

Its not the "select" queries that will affect performance or the half million rows that you should be concerned about. You should be concerned about HOW the query is written, what indexes are available on the table(s), whether any of them help your queries etc.

you can very easy understand how the query is performing by looking into grpahical execution plan while executing the procedure and then decide on what indexes should be added to speed up retrieval process.
