Have you tried defining an index on GenreDisplayName? --- Ben

What makes this silly is that if I run the query without the DISTINCT it takes a fraction of a second to return a couple of thousand rows. I can then do a... <cfquery name="getGenres" dbtype="query"> SELECT DISTINCT GenreDisplayName,GenreDisplayID FROM getGenres </cfquery> In CF and that takes about a second, so why is it taking 1:15 for MSSQL do do it in one operation? -- Jay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:255368 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
