Optimizing Stored Procedure With Datetime Parameter
Nov 23, 2005
Hi,
When I pass a date time parameter the stored procedure takes about 45
seconds, when I hard code the parameter it returns in 1 second. How can
I rewrite my stored procedure?
@createddatelower datetime
WHERE dbo.tblCaseHistory.eventdate > dateadd(d,-7,@createddatelower )
AND dbo.tblCaseHistory.eventdate < dateadd(d,-6,@createddatelower ) (45
seconds)
vs.
WHERE dbo.tblCaseHistory.eventdate > dateadd(d,-7,'11/15/05') AND
dbo.tblCaseHistory.eventdate < dateadd(d,-6,'11/15/05') (1 second)
Hi all, I have have this stored procedure which gets records from the SQL Server database which are then displayed on a web page. In the second part of the stored procedure, it has the exact same SELECT statement as in first part but it just returns the total duration. I have noticed that when the number of records is very large, the CPU time goes up to 100% for a second (while its fetching data) and then goes back to normal. Please guide me to what optimizations can be done to this procedure. CREATE Procedure GetCDR_LikeTollFree ( @theDuration int = null, --to find duration more than theDuration @totalDuration bigint = null, --to find the total duration for the result set @callerName varchar(255) = null, @callingPartyNumber varchar(255) = null, @originalCalledPartyNumber varchar(255) = null, @finalCalledPartyNumber varchar(255) = null, @dateTimeConnect datetime = null, @dateTimeDisconnect datetime = null, @clientMatterCode varchar(255) = null )
AS BEGIN SELECT callingPartyNumber, AlertingName, originalCalledPartyNumber, finalCalledPartyNumber, dateTimeConnect, dateTimeDisconnect, CONVERT(char(8), DATEADD(second, duration, '0:00:00'), 108) AS duration, clientMatterCode
FROM CDR1.dbo.CallDetailRecord t1 LEFT JOIN CDR2.dbo.NumPlan t2 ON t1.callingPartyNumber=t2.DNorPattern
WHERE (t1.callingPartyNumber LIKE ISNULL(@callingPartyNumber, t1.callingPartyNumber) + '%') AND (t1.originalCalledPartyNumber LIKE ISNULL(@originalCalledPartyNumber, t1.originalCalledPartyNumber) + '%') AND (t1.finalCalledPartyNumber LIKE ISNULL(@finalCalledPartyNumber, t1.finalCalledPartyNumber) + '%') AND (t1.clientMatterCode LIKE ISNULL(@clientMatterCode, t1.clientMatterCode) + '%') AND (@callerName is NULL OR t2.AlertingName LIKE '%' + @callerName + '%') AND (t1.duration >= @theDuration) AND ((t1.datetimeConnect) >= ISNULL(convert(bigint, datediff(ss, '01-01-1970 00:00:00', @dateTimeConnect)), t1.datetimeConnect)) AND ((t1.dateTimeDisconnect) <= ISNULL(convert(bigint, datediff(ss, '01-01-1970 00:00:00', @dateTimeDisconnect)), t1.dateTimeDisconnect))

I have a stored procedure that calls several views that rely on each other. In the past these views used to go parallel and use up all 100% of the CPU (12 cores), and now when the same stored procedure runs it only uses 8% of the CPU (1 core). This extends the time spent on the query from roughly 10-15 sec to 2-3min. I'm not quite sure why this is happening.
Are there some obvious things to look at when optimizing views to utilize all cores/threads? Also, it doesn't matter if I set Cost Threshold for Parallelism to 1 or 50 or 5, it is always the same, and I have Max Degree of Parallelism set to 0 as well, which should mean to use all cores when available.
I am having one querry regarding the same line. In my stored procedure i am fetching the data from one table containing upto 5 to 6 million rows I made use of index in my database but then also I cant optimise my execution time of that sp. Please help me out of this problem.
I have some code that I need to run every quarter. I have many that are similar to this one so I wanted to input two parameters rather than searching and replacing the values. I have another stored procedure that's executed from this one that I will also parameter-ize. The problem I'm having is in embedding a parameter in the name of the called procedure (exec statement at the end of the code). I tried it as I'm showing and it errored. I tried googling but I couldn't find anything related to this. Maybe I just don't have the right keywords. what is the syntax?
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[runDMQ3_2014LDLComplete] @QQ_YYYY char(7), @YYYYQQ char(8) AS begin SET NOCOUNT ON; select [provider group],provider, NPI, [01-Total Patients with DM], [02-Total DM Patients with LDL],
Hello, since a couple of days I'm fighting with RS 2005 and the Stored Procedure.
I have to display the result of a parameterized query and I created a SP that based in the parameter does something:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON CREATE PROCEDURE [schema].[spCreateReportTest] @Name nvarchar(20)= ''
AS BEGIN
declare @slqSelectQuery nvarchar(MAX);
SET NOCOUNT ON set @slqSelectQuery = N'SELECT field1,field2,field3 from table' if (@Name <> '') begin set @slqSelectQuery = @slqSelectQuery + ' where field2=''' + @Name + '''' end EXEC sp_executesql @slqSelectQuery end
Inside my business Intelligence Project I created: -the shared data source with the connection String - a data set : CommandType = Stored Procedure Query String = schema.spCreateReportTest When I run the Query by mean of the "!" icon, the parameter is Prompted and based on the value I provide the proper result set is displayed.
Now I move to "Layout" and my undertanding is that I have to create a report Paramater which values is passed to the SP's parameter... So inside"Layout" tab, I added the parameter: Name allow blank value is checked and is non-queried
the problem is that when I move to Preview -> I set the value into the parameter field automatically created but when I click on "View Report" nothing has been generated!!
I had thought that this was possible but I can't seem to figure out the syntax. Essentially I have a report where one of the parameters is populated by a stored procedure.
Right now this is easily accomplished by using "exec <storedprocname>" as the query string for the report parameter. However I am not clear if it is possible to now incorporate User!UserID as parameter to the stored procedure. Is it? Thanks
I'm attempting to pass a datetime variable to a stored proc (called via sql task). The variables are set in a previous task where they act as OUTPUT paramters from a stored proc. The variables are set correctly after that task executes. The data type for those parameters is set to DBTIMESTAMP.
When I try to exectue a similar task passing those variables as parameters, I get an error:
Error: 0xC002F210 at ax_settle, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "exec ? = dbo.ax_settle_2 ?, ?,?,3,1" failed with the following error: "Invalid character value for cast specification". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
If I replace the 2nd and 3rd parameters with quoted strings, it is successful: exec ?= dbo.ax_settle ?, '3/29/06', '4/30/06',3,1
Has anyone encountered this before? Procedure or Function 'stored procedure name' expects parameter '@parameter', which was not supplied. It seems that my code is not passing the parameter to the stored procedure. When I click this hyperlink: <asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" Runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# "../Division.aspx?CountryID=" + Eval("CountryID")%>' Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>' ToolTip='<%# Eval("Description") %>' CssClass='<%# Eval("CountryID").ToString() == Request.QueryString["CountryID"] ? "CountrySelected" : "CountryUnselected" %>'> </asp:HyperLink> it is suppose to get the country name and description, based on the country id. I am passing the country id like this. protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { PopulateControls(); } private void PopulateControls() { string countryId = Request.QueryString["CountryID"]; if (countryId != null) { CountryDetails cd = DivisionAccess.GetCountryDetails(countryId); divisionNameLabel.Text = cd.Name; divisionDescriptionLabel.Text = cd.Description; } } To my app code like this: public struct CountryDetails { public string Name; public string Description; } public static class DivisionAccess { static DivisionAccess() public static DataTable GetCountry() { DbCommand comm = GenericDataAccess.CreateCommand(); comm.CommandText = "GetCountry"; return GenericDataAccess.ExecuteSelectCommand(comm); } public static CountryDetails GetCountryDetails(string cId) { DbCommand comm = GenericDataAccess.CreateCommand(); comm.CommandText = "GetCountryDetails"; DbParameter param = comm.CreateParameter(); param.ParameterName = "@CountryID"; param.Value = 2; param.DbType = DbType.Int32; comm.Parameters.Add(param); DataTable table = GenericDataAccess.ExecuteSelectCommand(comm); CountryDetails details = new CountryDetails(); if (table.Rows.Count > 0) { details.Name = table.Rows[0]["Name"].ToString(); details.Description = table.Rows[0]["Description"].ToString(); } return details; }
As you can see I have two stored procedures I am calling, one does not have a parameter and the other does. The getcountry stored procedure returns the list of countries in a menu that I can click to see the details of that country. That is where my problem is when I click the country name I get Procedure or Function 'GetCountryDetails' expects parameter '@CountryID', which was not supplied Someone please help!
I have a stored procedure simply adds userid,logintime and status to db but I have an error when running procedure can you help me please??

I have got an SQL server stored procedure, and I would like to get this stored procedure, dbo.SpDate_Time_Minute_Today below executed against a matching or exact datetime from the database tables, PRODUCT_SALES.
if (conn != null) conn.Close(); return xmlDoc.InnerXml; }
I'm assuming this is because my Date is in the wrong format when .NET passes it. I've tested the stored procedure directly in SQL Server Managent Studio and it works (Format of date is '5/15/2008 9:16:23 PM').
Hello everyone I have a stored procedure that I am trying to save datetime data to at the moment I can create a string that will output 25/05/2007 18:30 Does anyone know the best way to get this into the correct format for my SP parameter cmdPublish.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@datPublishDate", System.Data.SqlDbType.DateTime)); cmdPublish.Parameters["@datPublishDate"].Value = ???? Thanks
hello, I have a stored procedure being called from my class. All values are ok, except for the DateTime value. What am i doing wrong here ? Am wondering if its the date size of 50 I put there or what ? command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@dob", SqlDbType.DateTime,50, dob1)); Error Message Compiler ErrorMessage: CS1502: The best overloaded method match for 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter.SqlParameter(string, System.Data.SqlDbType, int, string)' has some invalid arguments thanks Ehi
I have a stored procedure called from ASP code, and when it is executed, the stored procedure takes in a date as an attribute.
But since the stored procedure call is really just a string in the code, it is taking in the value as a string. So in my stored procedure, I want to convert a string value to a date value.
In a VB.NET script, I am adding the dbnull value to a parameter that will populate a smalldatetime column: cmd.Parameters.Add("@unitHdApprove", System.DBNull.Value.ToString)
The stored procedure then defines the input as smalldatetime: @unitHdApprove smalldatetime,
However, the result is that the record is inserted with 1/1/1900 as the date value, instead of <NULL>.
I'm guessing that this occurs because the conversion of a '' to date will return 1/1/1900, and VB requries the parameter value to be a string (at least with this syntax), so System.DBNull.Value.ToString really equals ''.
I've rewritten the proc to accept the date as a string instead, and then for each date, cast it to a smalldatetime or set it to null as is appropriate. But this is a really bulky way to do things with more than a few dates! Is there any way to change what is in my VB code so that the procedure will insert the actual null value?
Ok, i am using the convert function to get the date format from my datetime column. My problem is when C# try's to pull the column name the column name is not sent in the query. When I run the query in the query analyzer the column name is blank in the result window. How can I get the date from the record with out losing the name of my column in the query. My data binding needs the name of the column to bind the data to the drop down list control. Here is the statement:
SQL statement SELECT DISTINCT convert(datetime, eventDT, 110) FROM tblRecognition
I'm having a problem with inserting a datetime value into a database using VB.net and a Stored Procedure. Below is my stored procedure code and VB.net code. Could somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong ... I am almost frustrated to tears .
Stored procedure:
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.SPTest @testvalue DATETIME AS INSERT INTO tbl_Rates VALUES (1.2, 1.3, @testvalue, 'EUR/USD') RETURN 1
VB.NET code:
Dim RatesTA As New RatesDataSetTableAdapters.RatesTableAdapter Dim ReturnVal As Object ReturnVal = RatesTA.SPTest(Now) Console.WriteLine(CType(ReturnVal, Integer))
When I run this the ReturnVal is 0.
I should also mention that my system uses the dd/mm/yyyy date format (Australian) and I am using VB.NET Express and SQL Server Express.

Hi Everyone,I've been battling this for two days with no luck. I'm using SQLServer 2000.Here's the mystery: I've got a stored procedure that takes a singlevarchar parameter to determine how the result set is sorted. Here itis:CREATE PROCEDURE spDemo @SortField varchar(30)ASSELECT dtmTimeStamp, strEmpName, strOld, strNew, strActionDescFROM ActivityLogORDER BY CASE @SortFieldWHEN 'dtmTimeStamp' THEN dtmTimeStampWHEN 'strEmpName' THEN strEmpNameWHEN 'strOld' THEN strOldWHEN 'strNew' THEN strNewWHEN 'strActionDesc' THEN strActionDescENDGOWhen I execute the stored procedure in the Query Analyzer, it worksperfectly ONLY IF the @SortField parameter is 'dtmTimeStamp' or'strNew'. When passing in any of the other three possible values for@SortField, I get the following error:Server: Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spDemo, Line 4Syntax error converting datetime from character string.Now instead of executing the stored procedure, if I copy and paste theSELECT statement directly into the Query Analyzer (after removing theCASE statement and manually trying each different value of @SortField),it works fine for all five possible values of SortField.Even though the error points to Line 4 of the stored procedure, itseems to me that the CASE statement is causing problems for some, butnot all, values of the @SortField parameter.Any ideas?Thanks,Jimmy
hi all, i'm working in a database, i'm not the creater of it, and was assigned to optimize the stored procedures running against this database. can someone tell me what steps should i follow to check these SP's and to what should i look at and what can be done to optimise them.
I have this update procedure that updates and encrypts a credit card column. I added the pass phrase to a table and now I'm trying to use that pass phrase in my update procedure. When I run the update from the app the error is that the procedure is not getting the @Phrase parameter. Can anyone see why this might be?ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[UpdatePayment]
i need to run a stored procedure from an asp page that will import data into a temporary table.
i am having trouble with passing the parameter from the Exec command (currently developing in QA). It works ok where i want to use a value such as 'PC', or 'printer' or 'laptop' where the import sql has a where clause of '... = <<parameter>>...'.
I want however to be able to pass it a value such as ['printer','laptop','pc']so that the procedure will collect the data into the temp table with an '...in <<parameter>>'
this falls over and retrieves zero rows. the parameter is passed to the sp correctly as i have used a print command to display it, it comes back as 'pc',printer','laptop'. It appears to be the ' in ' that is not parsing the parameter.
I have a problem when i want to construct a stored procedure. I want to pass a parameter with customerid's. The problem is that I donīt know how many customerId's I send to the stored procedure, because the user select the customerId's from a selectbox. The SQL string I want to excute looks like this
SELECT CustomerName FROM Customer WHERE CustomerId IN (199, 301, 408... )
How should I create the stored procedure so I put the customerId values in a parameter, like the procedure below? (I know that this not will work)
CREATE PROCEDURE rpt_PM2000_test(@SCustomerId varChar) AS BEGIN SELECT Customer FROM Customer WHERE CustomerId IN (@sCustomerId) END
In the Create portion of a stored procedure, does the line in bold mean that if the parameter @RegoDate is not provided, then use the current datetime?
I have an Access front end/MSDE2000 backend system. There is a form that has a subform which is based on the results of a stored procedure. Both my subform and mainform contain intOrderID ( which is the field i want to link both of them with ).
I would like to have the subform's data updated when changing records in the mainform. In Access, this was simple ( link child and master fields ), but not with MSDE2000 as a back end ( ADO connection thing...)
I think i have to create something to filter the results of the stored procedure, but i dont like the fact the the entire dataset needs to be transmitted over the network ( most of the time, users will only be creating new records, or reviewing recently created ones )
I'm really not sure as to how to accomplish this... Any ideas?
