SQL Server 2012 :: Sort In Execution Plan - Delete Statement?
Nov 11, 2014
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?

I 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 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?

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?

Curious if I have the code below as an example and I execute this code does sql execute from top to bottom? And does the Update run and complete before the delete occurs? Or does SQL execute the update and delete in parallel?
UPDATE tbl1 SET col1 = 1
GO
DELETE FROM tbl1 where col2 = 2

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.

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
*/

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?

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

I have created a Dynamic Merge statement SCD2 Store procedure , which insert the records if no matches and if bbxkey matches from source table to destination table thne it updates old record as lateteverion 0 and insert new record with latest version 1.
I am getting below error when I ahve more than 1 bbxkey in my source table. How can I ignore this.
BBXkey is nothing but I am deriving by combining 2 columns.
Msg 8672, Level 16, State 1, Line 6
The MERGE statement attempted to UPDATE or DELETE the same row more than once. This happens when a target row matches more than one source row. A MERGE statement cannot UPDATE/DELETE the same row of the target table multiple times. Refine the ON clause to ensure a target row matches at most one source row, or use the GROUP BY clause to group the source rows.

I have some simple files but they are failing because the delete history task is failing as it is looking for files in a non existent directory.
It is looking for files in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.INSTANCEMSSQLLog whereas it should be looking in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLLog
how I can get this corrected so I can get the Maintenance Plans to run correctly.
I have tried deleting and recreating the Plan but to no avail

I have a four tables called plandescription, plandetail and analysisdetail. The table plandescription has the columns DetailQuestionID which is the primary and identity column and a QuestionDescription column.
The table plandetail consists of the column PlanDetailID which the primary and identity column, DetailQuestionID which is the foreign key attribute of plandescription table and a planID column.
The third table analysisdetail consists of a analysisID which the primary and identity column, PlanDetailID which is the foreign key attribute of plandetail table and a scenario.
Below is the schema of the three tables
I have a two web form that will insert, update and delete data into these three tables in a two transaction. One web form will perform CRUD operations in plandescription and plandetail table. When the user inserts QuestionDescription and planid in this web form, I will insert the QuestionDescription Value in the plandescription table and will generate a DetailQuestionID value and this value is fed to the plandetail table with the planid. Here I will generate a PlanDetailID.
Once this transaction is done, I will show the second web form in which the user enters the scenario and this will be mapped with the plandescription using the PlanDetailID.
This schema cannot be changes as this is the client requirement. When I insert values I don’t have any problem. However when I update existing data, I need to delete existing PlanDetailID in the plandetail table and recreate PlanDetailID data for that DetailQuestionID and planID. This is because, the user will be adding or deleting a planID associated with the QuestionDescription.
Once I recreate PlanDetailID for that DetailQuestionID and planID, I need to update the old PlanDetailID with the new PlanDetailID in the third table analysisdetail for the associated analysisID.
I created a #Temp table called #DetailTable to insert the values analysisID, planid and old PlanDetailID and new PlanDetailID so that I can have them in update statement once I delete the data from plandetail table for that PlanDetailID.
Then I deleted the plandetailid from the plandetail table and recreate PlanDetailID for that DetailQuestionID. During my recreation I fetched the new PlanDetailID’s created into another temp table called #InsertedRows
After this I am running a while loop to update the temp table #DetailTable with the newly created PlanDetailID for the appropriate planID’s. The problem is here. When I have the same number of planID’s for example 2 planID’s 1,2 I will have only two old PlanDetailID and new PlanDetailID for that planID and analysisID.But When I add a new PlanID or remove a existing planID I am getting null value for that newly added or deleted planID. This is affecting my update statement of analysisdetail table as PlanDetailID cannot be null.
I tried to remove the Null value from the #DetailTable by running the update statement of analysis detail in a while loop however its not working.
DECLARE @categoryid INT = 8
DECLARE @DetailQuestionID INT = 1380
/*------- I need the query to run for the below three data.
Here i'm updating my planids that already exists in my database*/
DECLARE @planids VARCHAR(MAX) = '2,4,5'
[code].....

Can anyone explain me simple language and easy to understand query execution plan. I am a fresher assigned to read and evaluate execution plan. i do not understand where is the problem. what percentage is considered as good sql and what percentage is considered as bad sql.
how do i understand whether there is a problem in sql or joins or index or anything else. Please explain me step by step what should be considered and what recomenendation should i give for each problem.

As a developer, we always say "using a stored procedure, instead of a cliet side SQL statement, provides performance benefits". However, it seems it has not been true anymore since SQL Server 7.0.
See SQL online "Execution Plan Caching and Reuse" at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/nhp/default.asp?contentid=28000409
I am quite confused with the following questions:
1. it seems since SQL 7.0, a SQL statement in client side uses the existing execution plan as a stored procedure does. That means SP doesn't has much advantage over SQL statement in terms of performance.
2. It seems, a stored procedure is not always compled ONLY once. If a stored procedure is not used for a long time, it could be kicked out from procedure cashe.
3. In order to use an existing execution plan, it seems that we have to use the fully qualified identifier, such as
SELECT * FROM Northwind.dbo.Employees
instead of
SELECT * FROM Employees
However, I rarely see anyone uses these kind of fully qualified references for objects both in SQL statements and SP. For example, in the sample database pubs and NorthWind, they don't use the fully qualified expression. I only see the use of it in master database.
I guess I might miss something in the issues above. I would like to get any explanation from SQL guru or anybody. Thanks a lot.

Hi
I am having a query
SELECT Dur1.rootId
FROM DurableEventTab Dur1
WHERE (Dur1.dev_ReferenceClusterRoot = 'iyrwd.52' )
AND Dur1.dev_Action = 'Order:Ordered')
AND (Dur1.dev_Active = 1) AND (Dur1.dev_PurgeState = 0)
AND (Dur1.dev_PartitionNumber = 0)
This table has a primary key : aribapk11
and the indexes on the dev_ReferenceClusterRoot,
dev_Action,dev_purgestate .
Now when I fire this query
the query execution plan is actaull doing a Clustered Index scan on the PK :aribaPK11 . What I was expecting was an index seek on the key defined on dev_referenceClusterRoot. Please not the index seek is the behaviour in sql server 2000.
Any idea what is going wrong ?
Clustered Index Scan(OBJECT:([typhoon1902].[dbo].[DurableEventTab].[AribaPK7] AS [Dur1]), WHERE:([typhoon1902].[dbo].[DurableEventTab].[dev_Active] as [Dur1].[dev_Active]=(1.)

I run a query
select col1, col2, col3, col4
from Table
where col2=5
order by col1
I have a primary key on the column.The execution plan showing the clustered index scan cost 30% & sort cost 70%..When I run the query I got missing index hint on col2 with 95% impact.So I created the non clustered index on col2.The total executed time decreased by around 80ms but I didn't see any Index name that is using in the execution plan.After creating the index also I am seeing same execution plan
The execution plan showing the clustered index scan cost 30% & sort cost 70% but I can see the total time is reducing & Logical reads on that table is reducing.I am sure that index is useful but why there is no change in the execution plan?

Is there a way to leave the graphical 'Include Execution Plan' on by default in SSMS? I don't know how many times I run a long-running query, say to myself, "wow, that took a while; I wonder what the execution plan looks like?" only to realize that I left it turned off. Now I have to turn it on, and wait for the query to run again. I'm guessing there's a setting in the options somewhere to always leave it on, but I'm not sure where

I have query with an expensive Key Lookup on a joined table. The predicate is the column that I'm joining on, and the output list contains two columns from the joined table.
I've created a basic non-clustered index covering the predicate column and include-ing the two output columns. However, the execution plan ignores this, and insists on using the primary key of the joined table to do the expensive key lookup. I've tried adding the included columns to the index directly and there's no change. I've also tried running dbcc freeproccache and no change.

I'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?

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

Hi,I want to access the real execution plan via my webapplication after I have executed an SQL statement. I know how to get the estimated execution plan:1 cmd.CommandText = "SET SHOWPLAN_XML ON";2 cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();3 4 cmd.CommandText = myStatement;5 SqlDataReader dataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader();6 7 String plan = String.Empty;8 9 while (dataReader.Read()) {10 plan += dataReader.GetSqlString(0).ToString();11 }12 13 cmd.CommandText = "SET SHOWPLAN_XML OFF";14 cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();I want do compare the estimated costs with the real costs of the same statement. If I change code line 1 an 13 to "SET STATISTICS XML [ON|OFF]" the string "plan" will contain the result of the submitted SELECT statement, but I just need to get the plan and not the result itself.

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 ??

Hi,
I want to know how to analyze query execution plan for complex queries and what information is useful from that for improving the performance. I have gone through details in some sites like www.like sql-performance.com (http://www.sql-server-performance.com/query_execution_plan_analysis.asp), where it was more generic. I want more info regarding this.
Can any one tell about the resources for this or do you have any white papers or documents, which you can share with me.
Thanks in advance,
