Is There Any Performance Loss If I Have All My Columns Preceeded With Dbo.Tablename?
Jan 6, 2006
I am doing a mass update of our SQL script files by adding dbo.
to all references to the tables.
The code is also adding dbo. in front of existing lines of code
that are like this:
SELECT CLIENT.FIRSTNAME,
CLIENT.LASTNAME
FROM CLIENT
....
The mass update is causing this to become:
SELECT dbo.CLIENT.FIRSTNAME,
dbo.CLIENT.LASTNAME
FROM dbo.CLIENT
....
My goal is to see FROM dbo.CLIENT
but even the column names are getting the "dbo."
added, so my question is if there's any performance
loss or any other side effect if I end up all my columns
with a preceeding "dbo."?
Thank you

I use SQL2005 EE to capture the "In Progress Data" from the Devices and have connected it to the Main server-SQL2005 SE thro linked Server. I Run a Job that updates the Main server and Clears the "in Process Data".
Off late I have been seeing that the systems with SQL2005 EE have gone slow ? I have not investigated the reason. But wanted to find out if using this method ,should I need to take additional precautions ?

was trying to performance tune a query and came up on this weird issue(Weird to me atleast.. possibly because I am a newbie:-))).
When I run the query mentioned below, I get the results in 1 second, while the same query, if I declare a variable for the value I am comparing, it takes 40 seconds. I am on SQL Server 2000. Both queries are being run in the same DB on the same tables and the only difference between the two is that the date has been declared as a variable. I am able to consistantly reproduce this. Tried casting the variable, declaring it as varchar , replacing the date by getdate() at both places, but the moment I use the variable, the performance goes for a toss. Has anyone came across any similar issues?
TIA

Query 1
select ae.Col1, ae.Col2, ae.Col3, ae.Col4, ge.Col4, c.Col5, 0
from table1 ae WITH (INDEX=ind_Col3 NOLOCK), table2 ge with (nolock), table3 c with (nolock)
where ae.Col1 = ge.Col1
AND ae.Col4 = c.Col1
AND ae.Col3 > '2007-10-25 14:18:12.380'
and ae.Col6 is not null
Query 2

Hi,I'm designing a new database and I have a doubt in which surely youcan help me.I'm storing in this database historical data of some measurements andthe system in constantly growing, new measurements are added everyday.So, I have to set some extra columns in advance, so space is availablewhenever is needed and the client doesn't have to modify the structurein SQL server.The question is: the more columns I add "just in case", the slower theSQL reads the table?Of course the "empty" columns are not included in any query until theyhave some valid data inside.Will I have better performance if I configure only the columns beingused at the moment, without any empty columns?Thanks in advance.Ignacio

Hi,
I have a denormalized table (done so with reason) with around 40 columns. I would never have to retrieve data for all of those columns together.
I haven't done any performance measurements yet but just wondering if anyone has ready answer to this: Will there be a performance degradation if I retrieve data from a table with many columns, even if not all columns are referred in the query? (for making it simple, lets assume that all or varchar type of columns, I just want to find out if performance degrades if there are too many columns in table)
Thanks in advance,
Sandeep

I have a db which I have little control over most of it's makeup because of the vendor supplied tools. We currently have over 700 tables and 19000 columns. Has anyone seen a problem or saturation pont with these kinds of numbers? The database delivered to the clients will be from 2-50 gig depending on the site. I can probably through hardware at problems, but if anyone has been down this road any suggestions are appreciated.

Does anyone know the syntax to reference a table in a stored procedure using a parameter? I'm trying to make a stored procedure that will "SELECT INTO" a table as the passed parameter. I keep getting an syntax error when I use this:
CREATE PROCEDURE make_table
@tablename varchar(20)
AS
SELECT * FROM old_table
INTO @tablename
I've tried it several ways, but I can't get it to work, and I haven't found any examples of this anywhere. Thanks in advance for any tips.

Hi,
What is the difference between
<Tablename> . . <ColumnName> and <Tablename> . <ColumnName>
this syntax we are using in Storedprocedures.
In SQL 2000, <Tablename> . . <ColumnName> is not working
Eg:
Tablename =a
Column Name = b
Difference between a..b and a.b
Can anyone let me know.
TIA,
Ravi

I know there has already been a thread on this, but I want to push some about it.
In SQL Server, there is a command "SET IDENTITY_INSERT tablename ON".
That allows you to update IDENTITY columns, or do INSERTs that include IDENTITY columns. Although a work-around was given for this in the other thread (reset the IDENTITY seed to the desired value before each INSERT), that is a major pain.
In my database, I have a table that tracks charitable donors. They have a donornum, that is an IDENTITY column, and a year. Together, the donornum and the year form the primary key. Each year end, a copy is made of all donor records in one year, to form the next year's donors. They have to keep the same donornum, but they get a new year value of course. Adding new donors uses the donornum normally, incrementing the IDENTITY donornum value.
The advantage of this is that you can match up one year's donors with the previous year's, by joining on donornum. But I need there to be separate records, so they can have separately updated addresses, annual pledge amounts, etc.
Is there any way the SET IDENTITY_INSERT feature can be added to SQL Everywhere, or some other approach can be found that is less laborious than the existing work-around? (The problem with it is that if you have hundreds of donors to copy, you have to do one ALTER TABLE to reset the identity seed for each donor insert for the new year.)
Thanks.

I use IDENTITY(1,1)
and the help says:
SET IDENTITY_INSERT tablename ON
But if the table is an variable(virtual) table how to make it work?
Like this:
DECLARE @TEMPtable table ( ID int Identity(1,1), invar nvarchar(255)
It does not work with
SET IDENTITY_INSERT @TEMPtable ON
I get this
'Incorrect syntax near '@TEMPtable '

this error returned because max(id_no) column is absent
if you are run

this query return that
insqlhelp ---------------
aaa2
(1 row(s) affected)
this mean that my table name query returned table name but i cant use this name in any other query (i think because of daclaring alias "insqlhelp, insqlhelp2")
other way is
set to any other text variable to table name,
and concetanate to query,
and execute with exec
but in this way you cant set to my int variable
please help me thanks for all

I am currently using a cursor to scroll through sysobjects to extract table names and then extracting relevant column names from syscolumns.
I then need to run the following script:
declare Detail_Cursor cursor for
select @colname, max(len(@colname)) from @table
The message I receive is "must declare variable @table".
Immediately prior to this script I printed out the result of @table which works fine so the variable obviously is declared and populated.
Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong or how I can get the same result.
Thanks

HiCan someone please shed some light as to how this can be done. With the below sql statement as you can see I don't want to declare the table name but would rather the table name be passed in via a parameter. I've tried declaring it as a varchar parameter but it doesnt seem to like it if I don't add a valid table name. Any ideas how this can be done. Thanks.select * from @tableName where condition = condition

I have a stored procedure that accepts the table name as a parameter. Is there anyway I can use this variable in my select statement after the 'from' clause. ie "select count(*) from @Table_Name"?
When I try that is says "Must declare the table variable @Table_Name". Thanks!

Hi all.
I want something like this :
create proc myProc ( @num int ,@name varchar(80))

select @num = max(field1) from @name
but there is a problem that the @name is a varchar and the error is :
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Procedure sp_myProc, Line 3
Line 3: Incorrect syntax near '@name'.
I tried
select @num = max(field1) from object_id(@name)
and the error was the same
is ther another way than :
exec ("declare @num int select @num = max(field1) insert into anotherTable values( @num) " ) ?

Hi,
I am new to SQL Server, and this may be a silly problem .. but here goes!
I need to create tables based on the date ie FEB2000 for EOM reports, I thought I may be able to do it by
1) Check if Table Exists, if so fop it
2) Recreate Table
3) Populate it with data
Unfortunately I'm still on step 1 <sad look>
--->
CREATE PROCEDURE TEST AS
DECLARE @TableName varchar(50)
SET @Tablename = 'FEB2000'
IF EXISTS(SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME = @Tablename)
DROP TABLE @tablename
GO
<---
I would of course hand the table name as a variable, but for testing purposes used a set variable.
Thanks in Advance

I have read through BOL but am still confused by the above sql. I think it rebuilds all indexes on a table. Am I correct? (If so, if would seem to be a good thing to run it nightly on all tables in all databases. Or maybe that is too extreme)

its meant to be so simple .. yet i just can not get this to work. i have a Sequence container which has a execute SQL task in it. The SQL query is simple . 'Select companyname from clientadmin where Licence = '217514'
Connection is Native OLE DBSQL Native Client. When i test connectio it succeeds
I used the build query option to build and test the SQL Query and it returned the company name
but when i execute the task i get the following error
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "" failed with the following error: "Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {7816B7A3-CD60-4539-BD38-C35AFC61F200} failed due to the following error: 80040154.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Once that hurdle is over how can i get the result into a variable called 'company' , type string ??
