SqlDataAdapter.Fill method slow

Question

Why would a stored procedure that returns a table with 9 columns, 89 rows using this code take 60 seconds to execute (.NET 1.1) when it takes < 1 second to run in SQL Ser

Answer 1

Why not make it a DataReader instead of DataAdapter, it looks like you have a singel result set and if you aren't going to be pushing changes back in the DB and don't need constraints applied in .NET code you shouldn't use the Adapter.

EDIT:

If you need it to be a DataTable you can still pull the data from the DB via a DataReader and then in .NET code use the DataReader to populate a DataTable. That should still be faster than relying on the DataSet and DataAdapter
