SELECT statement
Hi, I am having a table which is having around 170 Columns(Don't blame me but my Developer) and there are only 989 records in the table.I created all sorts of Indexes but still the query (Select * from Table) takes almost 2 mins to display 989 records.I need all the columns to be displayed.Is there any way I can make this query to run faster.Thanks In Advance - Sachin

Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

If you are returning all records adding indexes won’t do you any good. A table scan is being done. How much data is in the table? What is the latency between you and the SQL Server?

    Try Select * from Table with (nolock) - if this runs faster then the issue is not indexes etc but locking. If it is still slow try defragmenting table and its indexes. Also such a large number of columns shows lack of normalisation and are you sure you need: Select * from table without restricting which columns or using a where statement to restrict which rows? I would look at the whole design issue and try to improve table and query structure.
