SQL Server Express 2008, Joins, and Timeout Expired Error Message

entity-framework join sql-server stored-procedures timeout

Question

I have a stored procedure that does quite a bit of joins. The query though runs pretty fast, around 3 seconds. I just cant figure out the below error poping up every once in a while. I event cache the document that uses this query for a minute so it doesnt get ran over and over. I am using Entity Framework 5, and my stored procedure is using a CTE to do the paging. Any clues or insight?

Just a guess, but the query runs fast (3 seconds) only when it is cached. Otherwise, it takes a lot longer and exceeds your server timeout setting. Since System.Data.SqlClient is raising the exception, it is likely that the default timeout is only 15 seconds.

MSDN: "The default value is 15 seconds"

Alternatively, try the CommandTimeout property of the SQLCommand object, which defaults to 30 seconds.

You may need to adjust the COMMAND timeout.

See:

Set Command Timeout in entity framework 4.3

or

How to set CommandTimeout for DbContext?

EDIT

Command Timeout:

Connection Timeout:

EDIT:

Another possible issue is "parameter sniffing".

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/queryoptteam/archive/2006/03/31/565991.aspx

So try one of the parameter sniffing workarounds:

ALTER PROCEDURE [Schema].[Database]
    @Page INT = 1,
    @PageSize INT = 10,
    @SortOrder NVARCHAR(100) = 'Id',
    @SortDirection VARCHAR(4) = 'ASC',
    @EventId INT = NULL,
    @DivisionId INT = NULL,
    @DivisionTeamId INT = NULL,
    @Date DATETIME = NULL,
    @SearchToken NVARCHAR(100) = NULL,
    @MemberId INT = NULL
AS

Declare @PageCopyOf int
Select @PageCopyOf = @Page


Declare @PageSizeCopyOf int
Select @PageSizeCopyOf = @PageSize

Declare @SortOrderCopyOf NVARCHAR(100)
Select @SortOrderCopyOf = @SortOrder

Declare @SortDirectionCopyOf VARCHAR(4) 
Select @SortDirectionCopyOf = @SortDirection

Declare @EventIdCopyOf int
Select @EventIdCopyOf = @EventId

Declare @DivisionIdCopyOf int
Select @DivisionIdCopyOf = @DivisionId 


Declare @DivisionTeamIdCopyOf int
Select @DivisionTeamIdCopyOf = @DivisionTeamId

Declare @DateCopyOf DATETIME
Select @DateCopyOf = @Date

Declare @SearchTokenCopyOf  NVARCHAR(100)
Select @SearchTokenCopyOf = @SearchToken

Declare @MemberIdCopyOf int
Select @MemberIdCopyOf = @MemberId

And then everything below this uses/consumes the @XXXXXCopyOf variable and NOT the original variable (name).

It's worth a try.
