SQL Server stored procedure so fast in local so long in Azure

Question

I have a SQL Azure database with a stored procedure that is returning just one row with 10 columns.

If I execute this stored procedure in Azure it takes 4 minutes.

Then I copied the database in local via dacpac file. So the database is exactly the same right?

When I executed the same stored procedure locally, then it takes less than 1 seconds.

Any idea? Can't be the network latency.

Erland Sommarskog solved my problem on msdn. So the solution was UPDATE STATISTICS by runnning "EXEC sp_updatestats" on the Database.

And the running time is now 1 seconds instead 4 min...
