How can i increase the performance of cursor?

Hi,
Here i am using cursor and i have 189561 record .In these record i am performing updation in same table and insertion in different table.It take much time .is there any alternate to avoid the cursor .I am giving my code which i wriiten .Please check and give me alternate solution.

//code start

ALTER procedure [dbo].[updateNapsRecon]

as
DECLARE @irisRet_Ref_No varchar(50),
@glRet_Ref_No varchar(50),

@qcb_recon_id varchar(50),
@irisversion int,
@glversion int,
@qcbversion int,
@ErrorMessage varchar(2000)

thanks...........

I would start by checking the performance of the SELECT that builds the data that it will cursor over. How many rows does it return? Add SET STATISTICS IO ON; SET STATISTICS TIME ON; to the top of your script, run the entire thing and then show us the output that's produced by STATISTICS commands.

I would also look at the performance of the UPDATEs. Are the WHERE clauses indexed?

I am sure you could rewrite this to be set-based, but I don't have time to work on that. Maybe someone else can help with that.

Instead of using cursor copy you can copy ids and other relevant data into temp table using output clause while doing an update. And then you can perform insert based on information in this temp table.

Here is the idea ...

create table #ids (id int)

update ATable set <...>
output inserted.* into #ids
from ATable t1
join OtherTable t2
on t1.id = t2.id

select * from #ids

I hope it does make sense

Hi leonids2005 ,

thanks to given solution

set @genrateRecon_id=@irisRet_Ref_No+''+@iris_sid;
update IRIS_STG set RECON_ID=cast(@genrateRecon_id as bigint),

here i generate recon_id dynamically based on iris_id and iris_retr_ref_no .
Is it possible in above discussion ,if it possible then please explain me this one in brief.

thanks & regards,
shivam

Hi TaraKizer,
thanks

Can i update every row with different recon_id in set based statement.

Hi

I am not sure I fully understand your question.

In yuor solution you use cursor to iterate through a list of records and perform updates/inserts during these iterations.

what I suggest that instead of using cursor you create a temporary table which is populated with some ids and probably other relevant information using a query you used to iterate in cursor. Then you can use this temporary table to perform required update/inserts.
