Hi I have a batch process running and it seems that it's waiting for I/O all the time, the strange thing is it shows 400 seconds waits! EVENT CONSISTENT_GETS SPID WAIT_TIME SECONDS_IN_WAIT STATE SEQ# -------------------------- --------------- ------------ ---------- --------------- ------------------- ---------- db file sequential read 212532 25879 -1 374 WAITED SHORT TIME 892 EVENT CONSISTENT_GETS SPID WAIT_TIME SECONDS_IN_WAIT STATE SEQ# -------------------------- --------------- ------------ ---------- --------------- ------------------- ---------- db file sequential read 212717 25879 -1 431 WAITED SHORT TIME 892 EVENT CONSISTENT_GETS SPID WAIT_TIME SECONDS_IN_WAIT STATE SEQ# -------------------------- --------------- ------------ ---------- --------------- ------------------- ---------- db file sequential read 212925 25879 -1 504 WAITED SHORT TIME 892 What can cause this??? Thanks! Alex
