Hi

I am querying data from a linked server in sql management studio and the query is very slow. (in fact I cancelled it after about 30 minutes.)

But if I log onto the linked server and run the same query in management studio I get a result set (5 records) in about 3 seconds.

Any idea why or where I should start to look ?

I'm query data from several servers and do it usually by being logged into one server and accessing all the others as linked servers.


Thanks

Nick
