Really interesting behaviour of ADO

Hell all,
I am inserting record with times when SP begins and ends
and I log times when ADO.command.exec starts and ends
I've noticed that there are situations where SP reports 13 ms from begin to end
and ADO reports 3 seconds from begin to end. It happens about 3 times per 2000 tries.
Note: There are no resultsets, only OUTPUT params.
SO it looks to me either ADO glitch or network or what?
Does someone had something like this?
Are you accounting for the time it takes to open a connection to the
database, and then get results back from SQL Server?

|||1. No I do not, I have connection open, it is just straight execute of SP.
2. There are no resultsets back to client, only OUTPUT Params, the rest 1998 cases have SP and ADO with almost the same time.

Real simple liscensing question for sql server 2005.

Hell, I host web pages on a server(s) that I own, located in a datacenter.

I am trying to figure out how to properly liscnese sql server 2005.

I have called microsoft, and the people i talk to dont seem to understand my situation. They keep asking me about the number of employess i have, which is totally irrelevant.

Let me give you a basic example.

Example 1.

My personal web page has a blog on it. The blog data is stored in a SQL database. Its a popular blog, thousands of anonymous people reading my blog every month via my webpage. The only "thing" accessing the SQL databse is an asp.net script i write, which then turns around and presents the data via html over the www. just like every other blog in the universe.

Example 2.

I sell artwork over the internet via my web page. My web page uses a shopping cart system which makes use of an SQL database to keep track of inventory and orders etc. No one ever tries to connect to my database, they just use the shopping cart on my web page which of course connects to the database.

Now according to the MS liscensing documentation it seems that i can buy sql server w/ 5 device CAL's. Since I only have 1 or 2 webservers accessing the database server, that should be no problem right?

So my basic question is this: is a single Device CAL enough to allow one webserver to connect to one sql server and then show dynamic content to thousands of anonymous users (whoever happens to visit my sites?).

Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

viscious:

I have called microsoft, and the people i talk to dont seem to understand my situation.

You really need to try again to work with Microsoft on licensing, as this is a legal issue and they should be the best source of information on the licensing of their product.
