Hi Rob,
I agree with Jason's suggestion. If there are many columns in the table, I
do not recommend that you use "SELECT *" to retrieve about 5 million rows
at once. Is it possible for you to use TOP clause in your T-SQL statement?
Also I recommend that you reorganize your index to see if it s. You can
run "ALTER INDEX...WITH REORGNIZE" clause or "DBCC INDEXDEFRAG" (deprecated
in SQL Server 2005).
Hope this s. Please feel free to let us know if you have any other
questions or concerns.
Best regards,
Charles Wang

Note: The MSDN Managed Newsgroup support offering is for
non-urgent issues where an initial response from the community
or a Microsoft Support Engineer within 1 business day is acceptable.
Please note that each follow up response may take approximately
2 business days as the support professional working with you may
need further investigation to reach the most efficient resolution.
The offering is not appropriate for situations
that require urgent, real-time or phone-based interactions or complex
project analysis and dump analysis issues. Issues of this nature are best
handled working with a dedicated Microsoft Support Engineer by
contacting Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS) at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscripti...t/default.aspx.
