Copy Table Speeds Performance
Mar 31, 2008
Monthly, I copy a table from one database to another database. I delete the original table and copy the table back speed the performance of the query on the order of 10 to 1. Why does this work?
Detail:
I have a legacy table that a small application queries about once a month. The table was poorly designed and the query runs a date range comparison on one field and has a sub query that runs string comparison against six fields. I cannot change the calling app or table design. When the app calls the query, the call times out due to the inordinate length of time. To fix this until next months query, I copy the table out, delete the original and copy back. What changes when the table is copied to another database and then copied back? The performance of the query changes from 10sec to 1.

I have two avenues to access my primary SQL Server. (I work remotelyusing a VPN connection.)Usually, I hit the server from my local machine but I also login to adesktop machine inside the main building using a terminal ap and hitthe server from that desktop.Anyway, when I import files locally using the Enterprise Manager's DTSimport wizard, the process is incredibly slow. It doesn't matter ifthe file is stored on my local machine or if the file is stored on thesame server that has SQL Server mounted.It's as if the data from the file is being channeled to my localmachine and then back to the server. Shouldn't the entire process runserver-side?When I use the EM import wizard through the terminal app, on thedesktop inside the building, the import process flies.The only difference between the two setups is that I must add thedomain name to the address of the SQL Server and the same internalserver where the files are stored.Can I do anything about this?Thanks!

I have found an (encrypted) SP which takes ~20 seconds to run on one of our client DBs.
If I drop and recreate (or alter) the SP giving it the same contents it will run in ~1 second.
I need to know
1. why the sp started running so slowly
2. how to stop it happening again
3. how to fix it without resorting to drop/recreate (I can't exactly write a batch script to recreate all our sps every so often)
I have tried sp_updatestats and sp_recompile before running the sp to no avail...
anyone heard of a problem like this before?
cheers

Why I see absolutely no performance improvement when I spread my primary file group over 8 separate files on 8 separate disks, as opposed to having the primary file group all in one file on one disk.
I have set up 2 identical databases, one spread over 8 disks and one on one disk. Each database has a table called DATA and a column called VALUE. Value is NVARCHAR(200). I have filled each table up in both databases with 20,000 rows.
I then perform a select on each table in each database using CHECKPOINT and DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS to ensure I am reading from disk before each query and the execution times are identical in both databases.
I then ran the same queries against each database using a load testing tool and the batch requests per second on each DB is identical under load.
Surely the database with data spread over 8 disks should be FAR faster than the single file database as you have the combined reading power of 8 disks as opposed to 2??
Also, the same is happening for write speeds. When I create the data on both databases, the time it takes is identical on both.
BOL says it should be faster with multiple disks.
Just FYI this is on an Azure virtual machine and each disk is a locally redundant data disk that I have attached to the virtual machine.
Whether write speeds should increase with multiple disks or just read speeds?

I am searching for a better way to move data from DBase3 files into SQL Server 2k. The Dbase file has approximately 2 million records and after applying a SELECT statement to retrieve the data I need to move, there are still over 600,000 records. To move this data I have used DTS (data pump) to transform the data- THIS IS UNBEARABLY SLOW. Next, I created an exe to transform the data to a flat file and then used BULK INSERT to copy the data. The exe is slow, but the BULK INSERT is fast. I have moved the source and destination to the local Server to increase performance, but with little imporvement.
My question:
Is there a better way to move large amounts of data from DBase3 files to SQL Server without waiting 38 hours to move 600,000 rows? Thanks for your help.

My requirement is to sling a rowset from one place in SQL server into a table in another place in the most performant way. I want this to be parameterizable - I want to provide just a connection string and some SQL for the source and a connection string and a table name for the destination. The package should do the rest.
The solution I chose was an 2014 SSIS package with source and destination as ADO.NET connections configured from project variables. The package has a script task to bulk copy the data. For performance I disable the non-clustered indexes first.
But this performance precaution causes the bulk copy to timeout after delivering the correct rowcount to the destination table. What I can do to avoid this error?
Here's my script code:
//get hold of the source and a data reader from it
SqlConnection sqlconnSource = new SqlConnection();
sqlconnSource = (SqlConnection)(Dts.Connections["source"].AcquireConnection(Dts.Transaction) as SqlConnection);
SqlCommand sourcesqlCommand = new SqlCommand(SourceSQL, sqlconnSource);
sourcesqlCommand.CommandTimeout = 1500;
[Code] ....
This takes 128 seconds to put 13 million thin rows into my empty destination table and then throws an exception with this message:
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

Hi all,
The following dbo.Tables of Northwind.mdf in my .SQLEXPRESS (SQL Server Management Studio Express) are missing:
dbo.Categories
dbo.CustomerCustomerDemo
dbo.CustomerDemographics
dbo.Customers
dbo.Employees
dbo.EmployeeTerritories
dbo.Order Details
dbo.Orders
dbo.Products
dbo.Regions
dbo.Shippers
dbo.Suppliers
dbo.Territories.
But, I have these dbo.Tables in a different Database "xyzDatabase". How can I copy each of these dbo.Tables to the another blank dbo.Table of Northwind Database?
I right clicked on the dbo.Categories and I saw the following thing:
dbo.Categories
New Table...
Modify
Open Table
Script Table as |> CREATYE To |>
DROP To |>
SELECT To |>
INSERT To |> New Query Editor Window
File....
Clipboard
UPDATE To |>
DELETE to |>
From the above observation,I think it is possible to copy the dbo.Table from the one Database to the Northwind Database that needs to be repaired. Please help and advise me how to do this task or tell me where I can find the Microsoft document that gives the details of this X-copy thing.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang
P. S. I am using VB 2005 Express to create a project to learn "Calling Stored Procedures with ADO.NET" (see Paul Kimmel's article in http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/3438221) that needs the dbo.Tables of Northwind Database and my Northwind Database has been screwed up for quite a while and needs a big repair.

Hi i have set up two very simple tables, I want a user to be able to create a basic account ( data stored in User_Profile table with Id set as the Primery Key as Identity) I
want the user to be able to be able to return to their account at a later date
and then post multiple reviews of different bands they have seen at a later date.
I kept the tables in my example very simple so I could get my head
around the concept, but generally, I want to connect the Id (PK) value in
User_Profile table to the User_Id filed in the User_Review table,
so every review that user writes, will be connected directly to their Id.
Any help you could give would be fantastic a i have no idea where to start!!!
User_Profile
Id int, ( as primary Identity Key)
Name
City
Country
I have a second table called User Reviews
User_Revews
Revew_Id int , ( as primary Identity Key)
User_Id int, ( I want this to contain the Id value in
the User profile Table)
Review_Details
Thanks

Hello everyone,
I have a local MSSQL server (I guess it's called MSDE), with some tables that I would like to use as a template for a set of new tables. I would simply like a Stored Procedure that takes these 3 tables, makes a copy of their structure (not data, since they will be empty), and name them by using a parameter given to the SP. I have made something that I thought would work, but after testing it a bit more, it seems to forget default values for the fields, which is of course not good enough :). I hope that someone can tell me how to duplicate these 3 tables, including every detail for the fields!

Hi.Like the title says - how do i do this?I was given the following example:INSERT INTO TABLE2 SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE COL1 = 'A'The above statement threw the following error:An explicit value for the identity column in table 'TABLE2' can onlybe specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON.Then, after filling in all the column names in my above selectstatement I kept getting an error to the effect that the number ofsource and destination columns don't match. This is because one column"confirm_hash" does not exist in the destination table, just thesource table.could somebody show me how to get this to work?thanks!PS - MS SQL SERVER EXPRESS 2005

Hi,
I have a number of large tables (50,000,000 + rows and 30+ columns) that are refreshed once per month with data from another system. Data is first loaded into a staging table, that has an indentical strcuture to the final table, cleansed and then copy to the final table.
The current copy process is simple but inefficient:
Truncate Table <final-table>
Insert Into <final-table>
Select * from <staging-table>
If possible I don't want to use DTS for this and I'd like to use a batch size of around 10,000 rows to help reduce the size of the log file because I have 3 of these types of Inserts running concurrently.
What is the fatest way to copy data from one table to another, within a stored procedure using SQL 2000 on a large, clustered server that uses logging?
Thanks,
Jason

I want to update some values in a table using an update command. Lest I do something stupid and mess things up I would like to first make a copy of that table in case what I do creates some problems down the road.
We have a backup of the whole data base but I would like to make an additional copy of just this one table, just in case. It would also be nice to have just as a record of the before changes state.
How can I do that?

This is probably a dumb question.. but here goes.
I'd like to make a copy of several tables before changes are made to them so that I can 'roll back' if necessary.
What I 'thought' i could to was this:
select * into mytable_temp from mytable
and then to roll back..
truncate table mytable
Select * into mytable from mytable_temp
When I try and select back into my original table, it says I can't because the object already exists.. What is a better way to accomplish this????

Hi,
I'm using management studio express with a 2005 express server.
Is there an easy way to copy a table from one database to another. In 2000 I would use DTS for this, is there an equivilent?
I know I can copy and paste between tables but the amount of rows is too much for the clipboard and crashes my machine.
