Dynamic Cursor Versus Forward Only Cursor Gives Poor Performance
Jul 20, 2005
Hello,
I have a test database with table A containing 10,000 rows and a table
B containing 100,000 rows. Rows in B are "children" of rows in A -
each row in A has 10 related rows in B (ie. B has a foreign key to A).
Using ODBC I am executing the following loop 10,000 times, expressed
below in pseudo-code:
"select * from A order by a_pk option (fast 1)"
"fetch from A result set"
"select * from B where where fk_to_a = 'xxx' order by b_pk option
(fast 1)"
"fetch from B result set" repeated 10 times
In the above psueod-code 'xxx' is the primary key of the current A
row. NOTE: it is not a mistake that we are repeatedly doing the A
query and retrieving only the first row.
When the queries use fast-forward-only cursors this takes about 2.5
minutes. When the queries use dynamic cursors this takes about 1 hour.
Does anyone know why the dynamic cursor is killing performance?
Because of the SQL Server ODBC driver it is not possible to have
nested/multiple fast-forward-only cursors, hence I need to explore
other alternatives.
I can only assume that a different query plan is getting constructed
for the dynamic cursor case versus the fast forward only cursor, but I
have no way of finding out what that query plan is.
All help appreciated.

I have always been told that Cursors create a lot of overhead and consume a lot of system resources. Is it faster to store the data in a temp table and loop through it by using Select Top 1 and Delete statements or by using a static, Forward-Only Cursor? Both ways store the data in TempDB, but doesn't the While Loop statement generate more IO's than the Cursor? In theory, I am thinking that the Cursor is better. Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks!!

I know this question has been asked. And the usual answer is don't usecursors or any other looping method. Instead, try to find a solutionthat uses set-based queries.But this brings up several questions / senarios:* I created several stored procedures that take parameters and insertsthe data into the appropriate tables. This was done for easy access/usefrom client side apps (i.e. web-based).Proper development tactics says to try and do "code reuse". So, if Ialready have stored procs that do my logic, should I be writing asecond way of handling the data? If I ever need to change the way thedata is handled, I now have to make the same change in two (or more)places.* Different data from the same row needs to be inserted into multipletables. "Common sense" (maybe "gut instinct" is better) says to handleeach row as a "unit". Seems weird to process the entire set for onetable, then to process the entire set AGAIN for another table, and thenYET AGAIN for a third table, and so on.* Exception handling. Set based processing means that if one row failsthe entire set fails. Looping through allows you to fail a row butallow everything else to be processed properly. It also allows you togather statistics. (How many failed, how many worked, how many wereskipped, etc.)?? Good idea ?? The alternative is to create a temporary table (sandboxor workspace type thing), copy the data to there along with "status" or"valdation" columns, run through the set many times over looking forany rows that may fail, marking them as such, and then at the end onlydealing with those rows which "passed" the testing. Of course, in orderfor this to work you must know (and duplicate) all constraints so youknow what to look for in your testing.

In MSDN file I read about static cursor
STATIC
Defines a cursor that makes a temporary copy of the data to be used by the cursor. All requests to the cursor are answered from this temporary table in
tempdb; therefore, modifications made to base tables are not reflected in the data returned by fetches made to this cursor, and this cursor does not allow modifications
It say's that modifications is not allowed in the static cursor. I have a questions regarding that
Static Cursor
declare ll cursor global static
           for select name, salary from ag
 open ll
            fetch from ll
Â
             while @@FETCH_STATUS=0
              fetch from ll
               update ag set salary=200 where 1=1
Â
  close ll
deallocate ll
In "AG" table, "SALARY" was 100 for all the entries. When I run the Cursor, it showed the salary value as "100" correctly.After the cursor was closed, I run the query select * from AG.But the result had updated to salary 200 as given in the cursor. file says modifications is not allowed in the static cursor.But I am able to update the data using static cursor.

I need to pass a list of values into a cursor as such...
DECLARE

SET @group_SQL = 'SELECT group_id FROM groups where group_id in (' + @group_id + ')'
DECLARE groupContact_import_cursor CURSOR
FOR EXEC(@group_SQL)

FETCH NEXT FROM groupContact_import_cursor INTO @group_id
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)

insert into groupContacts (group_id, contact_id) values (@group_id, @new_cid)
FETCH NEXT FROM groupContact_import_cursor INTO @group_id
END
CLOSE groupContact_import_cursor
DEALLOCATE groupContact_import_cursor
But MS SQL doesn't seem to like the FOR EXEC(@group_SQL). Can someone shed some light?

I am trying to use a dynamic cursor in a stored procedure:
The code looks like this :
/************************************************** ***
set @sFormula = 'Monthlyformula'
set @sStartDate = '02/01/2004'
set @sEndDate = '02/01/2004'
exec('DECLARE APPGRIDROWS_METRICS CURSOR FOR select populateid From appgridrows where histdisplaygrid = 3 And '+ @sFormula +' Is Null and exists (SELECT 1 From PAYROLL_DATA_PERIOD as h Where h.id=1 and h.populateid=appgridrows.populateid and h.StartDate between '+ @sStartDate +' and '+ @sEndDate +')' )
/************************************************** ***
And this is what it is interpreting
select populateid From appgridrows where histdisplaygrid = 3 And Monthlyformula Is Null and exists (SELECT 1 From PAYROLL_DATA_PERIOD as h Where h.id=1 and h.populateid=appgridrows.populateid and h.StartDate between 02/01/2004 and 02/01/2004)
My problem is Is there anyway that I can put the quotes before those dates('02/01/2004') so that my cursor has some records returned
Thanks in advance

Hello..
Can you declare a cursor with dynamic SQL?
I have a situation where the SQL for my cursor MUST be assembled in a buffer, but I cannot get the cursor declaration to accept my buffer as the SQL statement.
these attempts did not work:
DECLARE crsCursor CURSOR FOR @vchrSQL
DECLARE crsCursor CURSOR FOR (@vchrSQL)
Does anybody know if you definitely can or definitely cannot use dynamic SQL with cursors?

Help please,Have a situation when converting from Oracle SP's to SQL SP's. The oldoracle cursor was roughly as followsCURSOR cur_rsStock ISselect*from(select StockRowId, CategoryIdfromSTOCKDISPOSABLEwhereSTOCKDEFID=numDefIdORDER BYSTOCKROWID)whereROWNUM <= numQuantity;The closest I can get in MS SQL is as follows :declare cur_rsStockCURSOR forselect top @numQuantityStockRowId, CategoryIdfromSTOCKDISPOSABLEwhereSTOCKDEFID=numDefIdORDER BYSTOCKROWIDBut, SQL doesn't allow variables next to top. I know I can assign the wholeselect statement to a string and use exec to exec the string to get arecordset but how can I point a cursor to receive its output?i.e.set @strSQl = select top ' + @numQuantity + ' StockRowId, CategoryId.......exec @strSQLbut how do I dodeclare cur_rsStockset cur_rsStock = ( exec @strSQL)Flapper

"Cursor provide row-by-row level processing and it will store the result sets in 'TEMPDB' database".
(Because of this) or (By using Cursor in Triggers or Stored Procedures) the performance will increase or performance will come down?. I am thankful if I get a good reason for this?

I would like the number of rows retruned by MyTableFunction limited to 2, but NOT the inside proc cursor's select !Set Rowcount 0 is forbidden in table function. I cannot use TOP in select * from MyTableFunction instead of setting ROWCOUNT to 2. I'm using SQL Server 2008 or 2012.

the cursor at the bottom  iterates only to print the number of rows.The problem is in the select. This takes 30 seconds to iterate through 1242 records.But if I add a TOP 1000000 or whatever number to the select, the same iteration takes less than a 1 second.I've tested each query without cursor, and  both have the same cost and performance. (Not exactly the same plan)Note that I got the same performance improvement declaring the cursor as STATIC.Why the top is affecting the cursor iteration so much?
Declare @query varchar(512)
DECLARE Itera CURSOR --LOCAL STATIC READ_ONLY FORWARD_ONLY

Hi all.
I am stuck in a bit of a conundrum for quite a while now, and I hope someone here will help me figure this one out.
So, first things first: let me explain what I need to do. I am
designing a web application that will allow users to consult info
available in a SQL2000 database. The user will enter the search
criterea, and hopefully the web page will show matching results.
The problem is the results shown aren't available per se in the DB, I
need to process the data a bit. I decided to do so on the SQL Server
side, though the use of cursors. So, when a user defines his search
criteria, I run a stored procedure that begins by building a dynamic
sql query and creating a cursor for it. I used a global cursor in order
to do so. It looked something like this:
SET @sqlQuery = ... (build the dinamic sql query)
SET @cursorQuery = 'DECLARE myCursor CURSOR GLOBAL FAST_FORWARD FOR ' + @sqlQuery
EXEC @cursorQuery
OPEN myCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM myCursor INTO ...
CLOSE myCursor
DEALLOCATE myCursor
This works fine, if there's only one instance of the
stored procedure running at a time. Should another user connect to the
site and run a search while someone's at it, it'll fail due to the
atempt to create a cursor with the same name.
My first thought was to make the cursor name unique, which led me to:
...
SET @cursorName = 'myCursor' + @uniqueUserID
SET @cursorQuery = 'DECLARE '+ @cursorName + 'CURSOR FAST_FORWARD FOR ' + @sqlQuery
EXEC @cursorQuery
...
The problem with this is that I can't do a FETCH NEXT FROM @cursorName since
@cursorName is a char variable holding the cursor name, and not a
cursor variable. So to enforce this unique name method the only option
I have is to keep creating dynamic sql queries and exucting them. And
this makes the sp a bitch to develop and maintain, and I'm guessing it
doesn't make it very performant.
So I moved on to my second idea: local cursor variables. The problem with
this is that if I create a local cursor variable by executing a dynamic
query, I can't extract it from the EXEC (or sp_executesql) context, as
it offers no output variable.
I guess my concrete questions are:
Is it possible to execute a dynamic sql query and extract a (cursor) variable from it?Is it possible to populate a local cursor variable with a global cursor, by providing the global cursor's name?Can I create a local cursor variable for a dynamic sql query? How?
Anybody sees another way arround this?Thanks in advance,
Carlos

I need to find all uses of special characters in a database. I used the following code to do this:
USE dbName
GO
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb.dbo.#Results') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #Results
GO
[code]...
This will check all tables in the database, but if you want to check specific tables you can uncomment the line in the where clause and specify tables to be checked. The query will return any text fields that have any characters other than letters, numbers or spaces.
This code works fine for me because all the tables in my database have single column primary keys. However I know how much Jeff Moden hates cursors or RBAR queries, so my question is could this have been done by any method other than using a cursor?

I'm new to cursors, and I'm not sure what's wrong with this code, it run for ever and when I stop it I get cursor open errors
declare Q cursor for
select systudentid from satrans
declare @id int
open Q
fetch next from Q into @id
while @@fetch_status = 0
begin
declare c cursor for

b.ssn,

and satrans.systudentid = @id
declare @arbalance money, @type varchar, @ssn varchar, @amount money, @systudentid int, @transdate datetime, @sycampusid int, @before money

Hello Everyone,I have a very complex performance issue with our production database.Here's the scenario. We have a production webserver server and adevelopment web server. Both are running SQL Server 2000.I encounted various performance issues with the production server with aparticular query. It would take approximately 22 seconds to return 100rows, thats about 0.22 seconds per row. Note: I ran the query in singleuser mode. So I tested the query on the Development server by taking abackup (.dmp) of the database and moving it onto the dev server. I ranthe same query and found that it ran in less than a second.I took a look at the query execution plan and I found that they we'rethe exact same in both cases.Then I took a look at the various index's, and again I found nodifferences in the table indices.If both databases are identical, I'm assumeing that the issue is relatedto some external hardware issue like: disk space, memory etc. Or couldit be OS software related issues, like service packs, SQL Serverconfiguations etc.Here's what I've done to rule out some obvious hardware issues on theprod server:1. Moved all extraneous files to a secondary harddrive to free up spaceon the primary harddrive. There is 55gb's of free space on the disk.2. Applied SQL Server SP4 service packs3. Defragmented the primary harddrive4. Applied all Windows Server 2003 updatesHere is the prod servers system specs:2x Intel Xeon 2.67GHZTotal Physical Memory 2GB, Available Physical Memory 815MBWindows Server 2003 SE /w SP1Here is the dev serers system specs:2x Intel Xeon 2.80GHz2GB DDR2-SDRAMWindows Server 2003 SE /w SP1I'm not sure what else to do, the query performance is an order ofmagnitude difference and I can't explain it. To me its is a hardware oroperating system related issue.Any Ideas would help me greatly!Thanks,Brian T*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

I having a difficult time here trying to figure out what to do here.I need a way to scroll through a recordset and display the resultswith both forward and backward movement on a web page(PHP usingADO/COM)..I know that if I use a client side cursor all the records get shovedto the client everytime that stored procedure is executed..if thisdatabase grows big wont that be an issue?..I know that I can set up a server side cursor that will only send therecord I need to the front end but..Ive been reading around and a lot of people have been saying never touse a server side cursor because of peformance issues.So i guess im weighing network performance needs with the client sidecursor vs server performance with the server side cursor..I am reallyconfused..which one should I use?-Jim

Hi,
I have just upgrade my sql 6.5 to 7.0 version. This sql box (compaq proliant 5500) has 1 gig ram and 4 pentium pro processors and smart array controller. There are about 200 users hit on that server constantly. I configured this server according compaq white paper and Microsoft recommendation; however, I am still suffering huge performance hit. Then I setup performance monitor to see what is happening. What I see is all of 4 processors are at 70% processor time constantly. What I heard is sql 7.0 runs much better on pentium III processors. Is that true? Or you have any recommendations??
Help!!
Thanks!!
Jim Zhong
