I have same query but when executed from different server use different plan. when it runs on QA box it is faster and when it runs on PRD it is slow.
Is it possible to force SQL Server to use QA plan by giving a hint?
know if there is any way out to run execution plan for parameterized queries?
As application is sending queries which are mostly parameterized in nature and values being used are very robust in nature, So i can not even make a guess.
Is it possible to check query execution plan of a store procedure from create script (before creating it)?
Basically the developers want to know how a newly developed procedure will perform in production environment. Now, I don't want to create it in production for just checking the execution plan. However they've provided SQL script for the procedure. Now wondering is there any way to look at the execution plan for this procedure from the script provided?
I want to find out more information about the execution plan. I saw Parallelism (Gather Streams) in the excution plan. In what situation we can see this icon?If in case if we need to avoid how can we avoid this?

I have an execution plan that is huge, the pdf it generates if I print it is over 1000 pages. Is there a way to change the graphical plan into a table, so I can sort the %, and find the items that are taking the longest?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 2 tables,
1. Need
2. NeedCategory
Need table has clusted index on needid column and NeedCategory have composite clustered index on needid and categoryid.
Now take a look on following query and execution plan for the query.
SELECT N.NeedId,N.NeedName,N.ProviderName
FROM dbo.Need N
JOIN dbo.NeedCategory NC
ON nc.NeedId = n.NeedId
WHERE IsActive=1
AND CategoryId= 2
ORDER BY NeedName
* Clustered index scan on need table is happens for Isactive= 1.
* Clustered index scan on needcategory table is happens for CategoryId=2
My question is,
1. Why scan happens before the join occurs? if it happens after join then the filter would be lighter. Even if optimizer chooses the scan to execute first.
2. Is there any chance to rearrange the execution plan manually?
I'm in the process of trying to optimize a stored procedure with many queries. The execution plan provides a missing non-clustered index on nearly every query, and they're all fairly similar. The only real difference between them are what's in the INCLUDE statement. The two key columns are listed in every missing index. Let's say each query is approximately 5% of the total batch and 90% of the queries all fall into the category I listed above. How should I go about creating the missing indexes? Create all of the missing indexes or create one generic one that has all the INCLUDE columns? Create a minimal index with just a few of the common INCLUDE columns?
Here's an example of what I'm talking about with the missing indexes:
/*
USE [DB]
GO
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [<Name of Missing Index, sysname,>]
ON [dbo].[TABLE_1] ([COLUMN_A],[COLUMN_B])
INCLUDE ([C4ABCD],[C4ARTX],[C4ASTX],[C4ADNB],[C4AFNB],[C4BKVA])
GO
*/
/*
The Query Processor estimates that implementing the following index could improve the query cost by 99.9044%.
*/
/*
USE [DB]
GO
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [<Name of Missing Index, sysname,>]
ON [dbo].[TABLE_1] ([COLUMN_A],[COLUMN_B])
INCLUDE ([C4ARTX],[C4ASTX],[C4ADNB],[C4CZST])
GO
*/
/*
The Query Processor estimates that implementing the following index could improve the query cost by 99.5418%.
*/
/*
USE [DB]
GO
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [<Name of Missing Index, sysname,>]
ON [dbo].[TABLE_1] ([COLUMN_A],[COLUMN_B])
INCLUDE ([C4ABCD],[C4ARTX],[C4ASTX],[C4ADNB],[C4AFNB],[C4BKVA])
GO
*/
I'm new to using SQL Server. I've been asked to optimize a series of scripts that queries over 4 millions records. I've managed to add indexes and remove a cursor, which increased performance. Now when I run the execution plan, the only query that cost is a DELETE statement from the main table. It shows a SORT which cost 71%. The table has 2 columns and a unique index. Here is the current index:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Qry] ADD CONSTRAINT [Qry_PK] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
(
[QryNum] ASC,
[ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = ON, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
Question: Will the SORT affect the overall performance? If so, is there anything I should change within the index that would speed up my query?
Hello ,
I wanted to know whether we have an execution plan enabled in SQL 6.5 as we have it in SQL 7.0 and SQL 2000 .
I.e when we execute a query and if we enable ' show execution plan 'then it creates a map and shows the vital statistics .
If that is available on SQL 6.5 then i am missing that tool .
How can i have it installed on my SQL 6.5 server ??
Thanks.
SQL Server 2012 Performance Dashboard Main advices me this:
Since the application is from a vendor and I have no control over its code, how can improve this sitation?
if t-sql query is perfectly run in development and when I execute in production at that time I want to use execution plan which is in development . so how I can do using cache? I know about hint we can use hint USE_PLANE. but I want to do with cache .
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is probably a very stupid question. I have been out of the SQL Server arena for awhile and am now getting re acclimated. It was my understanding that using execution plan in query analyzer does not really execute the query against the query's database tables. Is this right? Tom.

Hi,
I am developing an application (VB) that should present a query estimated execution plan.
Using the SQL Server Management Studio, I should execute the following commands to see the query's estimated execution plan:
SET SHOWPLAN_XML ON
go
MyQuery
go
SET SHOWPLAN_XML OFF
go
The query is not executed. The result is the query execution plan.
In my application, I call Connection.Execute to execute the 'SET SHOWPLAN_XML ON'. Then, I use a Resultset submit the query. The query is executed and the execution plan is not returned.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
what does query cost(retrive to the batch) mean in execution plan?
what is the differeence between query cost :100% and 65%?
The benefit of the actual execution plan is that you can see the actual number of rows passing through each step - compared to the estimated number of rows.But what about the "cost percentages" ?I believe I've read somewhere that these percentages is still just an estimate and is not based on the real execution.Does anyone know this and preferable have a link to something that documents it?Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have SQL 7.0 SP2 on NT 4.0 SP5. My database is 180GIG. 23 Tables. It has been up and running for 2 years without any problems. All of a sudden my queries have started taking a long time to run. The optimizer has decided that table scans are better than indexes. If I use query hints they work just fine, but I can't modify all of our code to make these changes.
This is happening on all tables. Records counts are the in the same range they have always been.
Statistics and indexes are all fine and current. Have dropped and rebuilt both.
Has anybody else seen this behavior.
Hi All,
I have to get some knowledge in Query Execution Plan.
Is there any links which i can refer for the same
Thanks,

I am trying to tune a very long running query (18 minutes on an Axim X51, 8secs on my laptop), but I can't get the query plan file that is generated on the device to load in the Sql Server Management Studio. I am using the Sql Everywhere CTP on the device, and version 9.00.2047 of the management studio shell.
FWIW, when I try to create the execution plan by running the same query on a .sdf file local on my laptop, I get a similar error trying to view the query plan.
Apart from the query plan issues, it would appear (just from the query execution time) that the indexes defined on the sdf file are not being used when executing the query on the device, but are being used when executing the query on the laptop. This is pure SWAG on my part, though.
I can't figure out how to attach a file to the post, unfortunately.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi,I have a question about estimated query execution plans that aregenerated in QA of MSSQL.If I point at an icon/physical operator in the estimated QEP, it showsmesome statistics about the operator.Is there a way to retrieve these statistics through a query, i.e., canthese statistics be available to the user?Also, is there a way to generate these statistics on my own?thanks in advance-TC.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi All,I'm a relative newbie to SQL Server, so please forgive me if this is adaft question...When I set "Show Execution Plan" on in Query Analyzer, and execute a(fairly complex) sproc, I note that a particular query is reported ashaving a query cost of "71% relative to the batch" - however, this isnowhere near the slowest executing query in the batch - other querieswhich take over twice as long are reported as having costs in theorder of a few percent each.Am I misreading the execution plan? Note that I'm looking at thegraphical plan, and am not reading the 'estimated' plan - I'm usingthe one generated from executing the sproc. My expectation was thatthis would be based on the execution times of the queries within thesproc, however, this does not appear to be the case. (Note - Idetermined execution times from PRINT statements, using GETDATE() todetermine the current time, down to milliseconds).Any feedback would be of great assistance... I may well have tochange the way I approach optimizing queries based on these findings.Thanks,LemonSmasher.
View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know if it is possible to access the execution plan results programmatically through a stored procedure or .NET assembly? I have the code sample
SET SHOWPLAN_XML ON; query... SET SHOWPLAN_XML OFF;
but it can only be run from the interface. I have tried a couple of solutions including dynamic sql to try to capture the results in a variable or file with no luck.
Does anyone know of a way to programmatically capture this information? We are doing some research with distributed query processing of dynamically generated queries using multiple processing nodes, and it would be helpful to know an estimate of how large the query is before sending it away to be processed.
I have looked at the dm_exec_query_stats view; but it can only be run on a query that has already been executed. I need to know the execution plan before the query is executed. If there is a way to get a query to show up in this view without being executed, then that would work as well.

Set up a trace with the events RPC:Completed, SQL:BatchCompleted, SQL:BatchStarting, and SQL:StmtCompleted.
When I issue the statement: SELECT * FROM XyzView there is nothing captured in Profiler. If I script out the view and then execute the select statement that defines the view, it does show up in Profiler.
I've tried adding a lot of the other events, i.e. SP:StmtCompleted and the various other StmtStarting events and the trace still does not capture anything.
Am I capturing the wrong events or is this known behavior? My goal is to see what the overhead is for using a view versus persisting the results of the view as a table and referencing that instead. The view in question is against static data, joins 9 tables, and is referenced a lot.
I can use the stats generated when I execute the select that defines the view but I still find this to be curious behavior so I assume I'm doing something wrong.
I want to save every query executed from a given software, let's say Multi Script for example, and save in a table query text, execution time and rows count among other possible useful information. Right now I've created a sp and a job that runs every 1 milliseconds but I can't figure out how to get execution time and rows count. Another problem with this is that if the query takes too long I end up with several rows in my table.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm new to SQL server but familiar enough with databases to know this doesn't seem right.
Here's the situation:
I have a table with real estate property information. There are about 650,000 rows in it. I have a nonclustered non-unique index on the city where the property is located. There are about 40 unique values in this index.
I do a simple query like:
SELECT city,address from propinfo where city= 'CARLSBAD'. The query will return about 4,000 rows. The problem is that the execution plan that it chooses is to do a full table scan. I.E. Even though there is an index on City, it chooses to look through 650,000 rows rather than do an index seek. Something sounds inefficient here. BTW, this happens in both SQL 7 and SQL 2000. Can anyone explain why this happens? I've got to think that SQL Server is more efficient here.
Hello, I have been looking at the execution plan for a procedure call and the select, compute scalar, stream aggregates, constant scan, nested loops, asserts are all at 0% cost, the PK costs are 2% apart from a rogue 7% and a few 20%, tables scans are all at 23%. The query cost realtive to the batch is 100%. What does this all mean?
I have put non-clustered indexes on all the table attributes that are involved in the select statements but this has made no difference, i am guessing this is because my tables are not heavily populated and i may have seen a difference if i had thousands of entries in the tables the select statements acted on, is this assumption correct?
Does anyone else bother using the execution plan to tweak there DB or is it a negligible tool?

In sql server 2005 management studio where do I find the option to run the sql query in the query analyser and also show the execution plan?
At present I see the option under Query menu which is "Display estimated Execution plan" which only shows the plan but does not execute the query.
Thanks
Does anyone know of a good way to copy the execution plan when using "Include Actual Execution Plan"?
I often need to copy this and mail it.
I know I can use PrintScreen button, but I need a more efficient way to do this.
If I just could rightclick the execution plan and select "Copy" and get complete plan it would be great.

Which of the following does NOT cause the execution plan of a query to berecompiled ?- new column is added to a table accessed by a query OR- index used by a query has been dropped from the database OR- query perfoms a join to return data from multiple tables OR- significant amount of data in a table has been mofified
