Timeout on sql statement

0 replies
Wonder if you could point me in the right direction on a problem that I am having.

I am using asp/sql server.

Have a column 'article' which contains several paragraphs of text.

I then have a select statement which uses 'like' to find a snippet of text within that article.

eg.

Select * From articles where article like '%some phrase%'

The problem that I am having is that it is timing out.

I can't do an index on article as the size is too large.

I am calling it from my asp page using a stored procedure.

Any suggestions to make the query faster in order to avoid the timeout?
#sql #statement #timeout
