exec sp_cursoropen @p1 output,N'select * from StatusMessages',@p3 output,@p4 output,@p5 output
select @p1, @p3, @p4, @p5

When i ran the standard report 'Performance - Top queries by total CPU time & Average CPU time' the results show that the query taking up maximum cpu is the select query on the StatusMessages table 'select * from StatusMessages'. I'm not sure why this
query is being executed? We use ADO to connect to the database from our applications. Most of the applications are doing a insert into 'StatusMessages' table. We rarely do a select from this table and when we do there is always a
