Hi,

When I pass a date time parameter the stored procedure takes about 45
seconds, when I hard code the parameter it returns in 1 second. How can
I rewrite my stored procedure?

@createddatelower datetime

WHERE dbo.tblCaseHistory.eventdate > dateadd(d,-7,@createddatelower )
AND dbo.tblCaseHistory.eventdate < dateadd(d,-6,@createddatelower ) (45
seconds)

vs.

WHERE dbo.tblCaseHistory.eventdate > dateadd(d,-7,'11/15/05') AND
dbo.tblCaseHistory.eventdate < dateadd(d,-6,'11/15/05') (1 second)

thanks for your help,
Paul

Do you get the same (correct) result with both queries?

Yes, the result is the same

I've read that perhaps the sp is not using the index. The table i'm
searching is a joined table in the sp...Do you know how i can force it
to use the index? Then name of the index is IndexDate

thanks,
Paul

Check out "forceplan" as in:

set forceplan on

Paul,

Your stored procedure could benefit from parameter sniffing if you
change the local variable into a parameter, as in:

CREATE PROCEDURE MyProcedure (@createddatelower datetime) AS
...
WHERE eventdate > dateadd(day,-7,@createddatelower)
...

EXEC MyProcedure '20051115'

HTH,
