Hi, I work for a website and we've been experiencing some problems as of last on our db server (most noticeably from a 3rd party app we installed that uses sql server). In any case, some things outside of this new app have all of a sudden started to perform slowly sporadically. The sps are nothing to write home about, and they're nothing that say - a mixing index can help. And for the most part or usually quite fast. Example - a very simple sp that is only doing Insert into TABLE NAME values(....) took 8 seconds yesterday at 4pm. Normally less than a millisecond. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what I should be looking at since I believe other resources are the cause. Any help would be great.

thanks.

Did you install the 3rd party app on the same box as sql server is installed?

How often do you rebuils index or update statistics?

I don't tink that indexes or stats are causign some of the problems he is describing (not to say it is not helpful to make sure you keep your i ndexes and stats healthy). It hink it ms more likely that he is having resource conflicts of some sort. Start small, by using SQL profiler. I suspect something (perhaps a large insert or tablescan) is blocking your process from completing.
