I need to update the columns to blanks if it has Nulls; Most of the
time we do not have Nulls and to check that in a 3.2 million table it
takes 2 minutes and 45 seconds. (To do select count(*) from <table>
where <columnname> is Null) .
I just cut and pasted a part from my stored procedure:
EXEC ('IF (SELECT COUNT (*) FROM ' + @tblname + ' WHERE '
+@columnname + ' is Null ) >0
BEGIN
PRINT ''' + @columnName + ' has Null ''' +
' UPDATE ' + @tblname +
' SET ' + @columnName + ' = ''''
WHERE ' + @columnName + ' is Null
PRINT ''Updated ''
END'
Please let me know if there is a better way to do instead of doing
count (*).
I'm facing a performance issue with select count(*) table_name when performing pagination to my results. My actualy query joins 4 tables with proper PK and FK contrainsts and indices applied.
select top 100 * from table1 left outer join table2 on tid=rid left outer join table3 on tid=aid inner join shipment on sid=sid where datetime>=convert(datetime,'20070810 00:00:00') and datetime<=convert(datetime,'20070920 23:59:59')
The query above takes 200 ms to 600 ms to execute.
select count(*) from table1 left outer join table2 on tid=rid left outer join table3 on tid=aid inner join shipment on sid=sid where datetime>=convert(datetime,'20070810 00:00:00') and datetime<=convert(datetime,'20070920 23:59:59')
The query above takes 2000ms to 4000 ms to run.
The total records that fulfill the where clause is approximately 5000 to 6000 records. I checked the execution plan but found that the server is actually utilizing the indices with operations like index scan and index seek.
Are there any other things that i can do to improve the counting of total records?
I have a simple cube with only one measure : "Amount", I have three dimensions Supplier, Category and Company.
I would like to display a matrix with Categories as rows, company as columns, the amount and the number of distinct suppliers who appaers for each category/company.
The result is OK, but when I add this calculated Measure to my query the execution time jumps from a few seconds (<10) to a few minutes. Am I missing something ?
I have the following queries that run on a view called EntrySummary:
1)
exec sp_executesql N'SELECT COUNT (1) FROM [dbo].[EntrySummary] WHERE [EntrySummary].[SubmissionStatusID] = @SubmissionStatusID0 AND [EntrySummary].[CreatedBy] = @CreatedBy1',N'@SubmissionStatusID0 int,@CreatedBy1 nvarchar(20)',@SubmissionStatusID0=4,@CreatedBy1=N'domainaperson'
2) exec sp_executesql N'SELECT COUNT (1) FROM [dbo].[EntrySummary] WHERE [EntrySummary].[CreatedBy] = @CreatedBy1 AND [EntrySummary].[SubmissionStatusID] = @SubmissionStatusID0',N'@SubmissionStatusID0 int,@CreatedBy1 nvarchar(20)',@SubmissionStatusID0=4,@CreatedBy1=N'domainaperson'
(The only difference between the two queries being the order of the where clauses)
Both return the correct answer (4144), but Query 2 takes 10-15 seconds whereas Query 1 takes < second. If the same query is resubmitted several times, this doesn't affect the times.
(The vast majority of the records have a status of 4, but only about 3% will be created by the person).
Replacing Count(1) with count(*) makes both queries return quickly.
Is sp_executesql creating poor execution plans ? Can anyone explain this behaviour?

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 use SQL 2000 I have a Column named Bool , the value in this Column is 0�0�1�1�1 I no I can use Count() to count this column ,the result would be "5" but what I need is "2" and "3" and then I will show "2" and "3" in my DataGrid as the True is 2 and False is 3 the Query will have some limited by a Where Query.. but first i need to know .. how to have 2 result count could it be done by Count()? please help. thank you very much
SQL 2000I have a table with 5,100,000 rows.The table has three indices.The PK is a clustered index and has 5,000,000 rows - no otherconstraints.The second index has a unique constraint and has 4,950,000 rows.The third index has no constraints and has 4,950,000 rows.Why the row count difference ?Thanks,Me.
The following query returns a value of 0 for the unit percent when I do a count/subquery count. Is there a way to get the percent count using a subquery? Another section of the query using the sum() works.
Here is a test code snippet:
--Test Count/Count subquery
declare @Date datetime
set @date = '8/15/2007'
select -- count returns unit data Count(substring(m.PTNumber,3,3)) as PTCnt, -- count returns total for all units
(select Count(substring(m1.PTNumber,3,3))
from tblVGD1_Master m1
left join tblVGD1_ClassIII v1 on m1.SlotNum_ID = v1.SlotNum_ID
Where left(m1.PTNumber,2) = 'PT' and m1.Denom_ID <> 9
and v1.Act = 1 and m1.Active = 1 and v1.MnyPlyd <> 0
and not (v1.MnyPlyd = v1.MnyWon and v1.ActWin = 0)
and v1.[Date] between DateAdd(dd,-90,@Date) and @Date) as TotalCnt, -- attempting to calculate the percent by PTCnt/TotalCnt returns 0 (Count(substring(m.PTNumber,3,3)) /
(select Count(substring(m1.PTNumber,3,3))
from tblVGD1_Master m1
left join tblVGD1_ClassIII v1 on m1.SlotNum_ID = v1.SlotNum_ID
Where left(m1.PTNumber,2) = 'PT' and m1.Denom_ID <> 9
and v1.Act = 1 and m1.Active = 1 and v1.MnyPlyd <> 0
and not (v1.MnyPlyd = v1.MnyWon and v1.ActWin = 0)
and v1.[Date] between DateAdd(dd,-90,@Date) and @Date)) as AUPct -- main select

I would like to AUTOMATICALLY count the event for the month BEFORE today
and
count the events remaining in the month (including those for today).
I can count the events remaining in the month manually with this query (today being March 20):
SELECT Count(EventID) AS [Left for Month], FROM RECalendar WHERE (EventTimeBegin >= DATEADD(DAY, 1, (CONVERT(char(10), GETDATE(), 101))) AND EventTimeBegin < DATEADD(DAY, 12, (CONVERT(char(10), GETDATE(), 101))))
Could anyone provide me with the correct syntax to count the events for the current month before today
and
to count the events remaining in the month, including today.
I have an sql command for when you add a new name to the database it counts to see how many of the name entered to the textbox exist in the database. If the count is 0 then it will add the name to the table. Else it displays an error message. This works fine for inserting a new name but on my update page where you may update the name I have the same code which on button click counts to see how many exist. But if you leave the textbox the same value and click the button the count obviously results in 1 and brings up an error message. Is there a way I can do a count but not including the name that is currently the value of the textbox?protected void UpdateSharedArea(object sender, EventArgs e) { SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(docShare_ConString);
//Count the amount of area names that are the same as typed by user SqlCommand existCheck = new SqlCommand("SELECT COUNT(doc_area_name) FROM document_area WHERE doc_area_name = @doc_area_name", connection); SqlParameter areaname = new SqlParameter("@doc_area_name", SqlDbType.VarChar); areaname.Value = AreaText.Text; existCheck.Parameters.Add(areaname);
connection.Open(); int count = (int)existCheck.ExecuteScalar(); connection.Close();
//If the area name does not exist within the table if (count == 0) { //Update name Cheers, Mark

Hi Folks, I'm having a problem generating a total figure from two seperate sums in a query. Basically what I need to do is generate the total of select count(*) from t1, select count from t2. without using a temp table. Thanks in advance Sirius
I have to create a statement that will find the next highest number of a field that is stored as a char(5), like ' 2' and add a new record adding one to that max number. The field is padded with leading spaces. I know how to get the next number. The question is counting how many spaces I need (is it a 9 or a 10) and then stuffing the leading spaces in front of the new number.
Thanks to Craig for helping me out with my first question. My next question is this. Is there a way to have it give me the counts for all tables without entering each tablename? I may have new tables every time and would like not to have to keep up with changing the script.
