Hi B.J.,
I would highly recommend that you redesign your web service. If it takes so
long to complete, how it is going to perform on low latency internet
connection, or what if the server has high load? It is not a design choice
that I would live with.

About hardly, my we service takes so long becuase it is fingerprint
identification. I have one fingerprint which is passed to Web service and Web
service searches fingerprint database which contains over 100,000,000,000
rows and as you may know the best current algorithm performs in linear time
(also FBI uses it), so do you recommend me yet redesign ... ?

Yes,
you should!
The simplest way is to call the webservice for about 100 times and check
1,000,000,000 rows. You can even implement progress bar :)

Hi,
Yes, I could but if I will divide calls to Web service then I will must also
divide SQL query because it is single SELECT ... GROUP BY, and as you may
know it should reduce performance - I tried it.

Have you tried to horizontally divide the table in multiple ones?
