Calling sp_start_job from VB.Net

H

Harry Strybos

Hi All

I have a fairly large stored proc that does some analysis of financial data
(returning about 2-3k rows) using about 10 different T_Sql queries and
writes the results of each to a temp table which I then save to another
table. This is the result of daily financial reconciliation for historical
purposes.

While I run this through a component class in the background, my thinking is
that it may be better to execute a Sql job using sp_start_job via ADO.Net
since I do not require any feedback on whether it completed. The failure of
the job will be emailed to me, if that occurs.

My question is:

Does/can a call from VB.Net to sp_start_job release immediately after making
the call or does it wait for the job to complete? My apologies for posting
this in two groups but either group could have an answer that is useful.

Thank you for your time

Harry
