I would like to know some clarification from your side. so please help me…

I have written a Stored Procedure for the Reports(SSRS). In that SP, We
are include the Audit Table of our DB.This Audit Table Contains More than
200,000 Records and it contains 3 XML Columns. So I read each row by using
CURSOR and then done a XML Parsing to acquire the required data.

I got the output correctly. But I have a problem with performance. It took
more than 15 minutes to return output.
So I used While loop instead of Cursor. But it has no difference.

So kindly please give me an idea to improve the performance of that
procedure.
