while if i run this procedure out of application then it works fine but takes time if run through my vb application.Thanks for trying to clarify. it seems that not the database itself is the problem. Since you can run the procedure without trouble out of the application.
The question now is how does your application connect to the database. And how does this procedure "automatically" start?
Maybe you have a connection pool and the application hast to wait until it gets a new free connection from this pool.
Or you have a message queueing table and can read fast enough from the queue.
The solution that was already suggested was not to do one insert at a time but to insert multiple rows at once. This is still a good idea.
You could collect all the inserts (all the 2 values per row) in your vb-Application and build a collection/array.
Then pass this array to the procedure. The procedure will then take care to insert all the data (all rows with all values).
Commit at the very end. As others also already mentioned, committing to often will slow down your whole application.
