Is there any way to estimate the time required to execute a T-SQL statement?
I need to set the command time out by calculating the time for T-SQL
statement. Can any one give an example?
You're probably better asking in somewhere like
microsoft.public.sqlserver.programming.
Having said that, it depends on too many factors for it to be a
particularly useful thing to do, in my opinion. What hardware will it
run on, how busy will the server be at the time, how many records will
there be in the tables, etc.
The decision on timeout has less to do with how long the command takes
to execute and more to do with your system requirements; how long is the
user willing to wait? Is it essential that the operation completes
however long it takes? Is running it asynchronously an option?
