The reason I was looking at the SP was this particular query always seems to take quite a long time to run in .NET, whereas when I tested it in the query browser it was taking less than half a second.

I'm sure the delay is DB related as other queries to the same table are much quicker...

I didn't take the time to unravel all the logic in your SP, but it appears in mySQL that you can PREPARE..EXECUTE a query whilst substituting parameters. In you case, consider if you can build your dynamic query in such a way to use parameters in the EXECUTE statement rather than building them into the query. Such as the very simple example:

Code:

     SET @s = 'SELECT * FROM authors WHERE id BETWEEN ? AND ?'; 
    SET @min = _min; 
    SET @max = _max; 

    PREPARE stmt1 FROM @s; 
    EXECUTE stmt1 USING @min, @max; 
    DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt1;

Yeah I did see that Wolffy, but wasn't sure if I could get the order of the parameters right. I assume it drops the USING values into the query in the order they are placed.

I was wondering if you could do the same but name them.

Yeah, now I see what you mean. I was trying to figure out a way to do this while having the same parameters in the same position regardless of query -- but that's going to make for some really inefficient queries. Take the rather simple example of your conveyor predicate:

Code:

IF iconveyor <> '' AND iconveyor<>'all' THEN
 SET _conveyor = ' AND visitors.conveyor = ?';
ELSE
 SET _conveyor = ' AND visitors.conveyor LIKE ?;
 SET @iconveyor = '%';
END IF;

Consider all the permutations, and you could have a ton of LIKE's in the query. Gross

I think I got it sorted.

No changes to my SP. In .NET used the following code to add the parameters:-

Code:

Dim mycommand as new mysqlcommand("clientlist",conn)
Dim isurname as MySqlParameter = mycommand.parameters.Add("isurname",mysqldbtype.varchar)
isurname.value = search.surname

So, you need to create an instance of a mysql parameter object and set it to an IN parameter of the SP. You need to create an object for all the IN parameters you have in your SP. Then assign the value you want to it. In my case it's a property of a search class I have.

Hope that helps someone...
