Select Statement Is Very Slow - How Can I Speed This Up?
Nov 14, 2007
The following stored procedure is run whenever someone searches my database. When I first created the site, this search took less than 3 seconds. Now, there is more data in the system and the search is taking over 30 seconds.
I am not very good with SQL and I'm sure I am doing some dumb things. Is there a better way to write this query to speed things up?
Thanks a lot,

hello,I have the following query. it returns result in less than 1 second.select *from employee e, address awhere e.id=a.emp_idand e.id=1234The problem is that it becomes extremely slow if i take the last lineout. So the query looks like:select *from employee e, address awhere e.id=a.emp_idThe above query is only supposed to return ~500 rows. but i stillhaven't got the result back after 30 minutes.Does anyone have any suggestions about troubleshooting this problem?Thank you in advance!Eddy

Hi guys,
I am asking this question on behalf of a friend. I have little knowledge of SQL 2005 but my friend is quite knowledgeable, although this is the first time he is dealing with large database for a client. So here's the story.
His client has a database containing 1.5 million books. Now he is setting up a website which will enable users to search books. Searching by ISBN is no problem as it only takes 1 seconds. The problem is, searching by Title takes more than 20seconds, which is unacceptable. My friend has only done smaller database and he just recently thought of implementing indexing and now looking for other ideas.
Each row contains book details such as Title, Author1, Author2, Author3, Publisher, Publication Date, ISBN, etc.
Can anyone who are more experienced in doing large database share with me some design ideas? His client is aiming for 8seconds or less.
Thanks in advance!

I have an application written in VB6 that creates a ADO connection using the (native SQL2005 clien)t from the client to SQLServer 2005 on Server 2003 configured as a stand alone server. The application works great on XP and has for a number of years.
Now I am attempting to deploy in Vista and using the same code the connection speed CRAWLS. it's in the magnitude of atleast 10 times slower. It eventualy works but the selects and doing a readnext against the resulting record set is at a snails pace.
What am I missing. It's has to be some sort of configuration problem somewhere.

Background:
I have a table (named achtransactions) that has 618,423 rows. I have the ID field set as the Primary Key.
Problem:
Usually when doing a single, simple update (ie: UPDATE achtransactions SET transstatus = 'APPROVED' where id = 123456) it would take less than a second.
All of a sudden, beginning today, the same UPDATE statement is taking about 20 seconds on average. Other smaller tables (~100 rows) update instantly, just appears to be this one table.
Any ideas on what I should look at to find the problem?
Thanks in advance,
CooperS

Hello,
Server hardware: Intel core 2 duo, 2Gb ram, SATA 1500Gb, SQL Server 2005
I have big table (~ from 50000 to 500000 rows) :
Code Snippet
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[CommonPointValues](
[ID] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[pointID] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[pointValue] [numeric](10, 2) NOT NULL,
[qualityID] [int] NOT NULL,
[dateFrom] [datetime] NULL,
[dateTo] [datetime] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_PointValues] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 100) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
UPDATE statement:
Code SnippetUPDATE dbo.CommonPointValues SET dateTo = @last_update WHERE ID = @lastValID
2000 rows update takes about 1 sec.
INSERT statement:
Code Snippet
INSERT INTO dbo.CommonPointValues (pointID, pointValue, qualityID, dateFrom, dateTo )
VALUES (@point_id, @value_new, @quality_new, @last_update, @last_update )
Speed with INSERT is similar like with UPDATE.
I need about 10000 updates per 1 second and 10000 inserts per 1 second or together 5000 inserts and 5000 updates per 1 sec.
Should I update hardware or try some improvements to table structure.

Hi,
I have several data bases on a server (SQL Server 2000 only, no web server installed) and lately, as the company keeps gowing, my users complain saying the server gets slow, (this dbs are well designed and recieve optimizations and integrity checks, etc) because of this, Im thinking about getting a new server to repleace my old ProLiant ML 330 which was bought 4 years ago but Im concerned about what server arquitecture or characteristic can help me best to improve response performance, is it HD speed? Processor speed? or more Ram? I want to make a good decision, so I´d really appreciate your help...

Hi,
I've got a table with about 500 000 records and growing monthly by about 40 000 records
When I perform the following query:
DELETE from [myTable] WHERE Month = '07' AND Year='2005'
This query will take about 10 minutes to execute. Columns Month & Year are both indexed.
Surely MSSQL can't be this slow on only 500 000 records.
Must I do some other database optimization ???
Thanks

I have been trying to optimize a few DAX calculations that I have in my cube and ran into this problem Basically my DAX MeasureÂ
Counterparty Collateral Base DKK:=
[Counterparty Collateral Contracts DKK (filtered)]Â
+Â
CALCULATE(-[Account Balances DKK], Accounts[Counterpart Type ID] <> 8, Accounts[ContractTypeID] <> 14, Accounts[ContractTypeID] <> 16)
is pretty fast,
whereas as soon as I change the 2nd part to only add Account Balance if its>0, it takes ages i.e.
Counterparty Collateral Base DKK:=
[Counterparty Collateral Contracts DKK (filtered)]Â
+Â
IF(CALCULATE(-[Account Balances DKK], Accounts[Counterpart Type ID] <> 8, Accounts[ContractTypeID] <> 14, Accounts[ContractTypeID] <> 16)>0,
CALCULATE(-[Account Balances DKK], Accounts[Counterpart Type ID] <> 8, Accounts[ContractTypeID] <> 14, Accounts[ContractTypeID] <> 16),0)
Offcourse because I check every row I suppose with that "if" statement. Question is how do I improve it?
B
y the Way: [Account Balances DKK] is in the table - Account Balances
          [Counterparty Collateral Contracts DKK (filtered)]  is in the table- Open Positions
This calculated measure [Counterparty Collateral Base DKK] is in Open Positions.And the query in MDX, that I run to pull this measure, looks like
Â
select {[Measures].[Counterparty Collateral Base DKK]
}on 0,
Non Empty {[Accounts].[Counterpart ID].children
 *[Base Currencies].[Currency Code].children
 *[Products].[Product Name].children
 } on 1
from [model]
where [Dates].[Date].&[2015-06-30T00:00:00]
The requirement is such that I have to add the measures in two separate tables.How can I improve the performance when adding the filter? Â Â Â

Hi, I have a query which returns normally in less than a couple of seconds. When coupled with a "TOP" statement however, the execution time changes in a way I can't explain.
When using "TOP 1000", the query returns in its normal time. Any top value greater than 10 seems to function normally. However, as soon as we hit this "magic number" the query begins taking 30+ seconds to return.
As far as we can see, there is nothing odd about this query or the data that it is searching, and this problem has us stumped! Can anyone explain why top is producing these results, and is there any optomisation changes that anyone can suggest to give us faster queries in these cases?
Many thanks, Andy J.

I support a website (ASP.NET 2.0) where recently users have been unable to insert data due to timeout issues. The functionality executes a query that inserts a single row into a SQL Server 2005 db table. I tried running this query from the backend, and it took 4:48 to insert a single row! Interestingly, after that initial agony any similar inserts I tried took no time whatsoever. I have checked the execution plan, but unfortunately don't really know what I'm looking for with inserts, as most of my experience with execution plans is with select statements. Any resources anyone could point me to for troubleshooting this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
-Dave

We are using sql server 2005 with java and the last version of driver JDBC, some querys show bad performance when you send by application but if you use sql query analyzer the performance is excellent. We have take a profiler trace and saw that Java call SP_PREPEXEC when it makes a call of preparestatement. We taken the sentence from profiler (with SP_PREPEXEC) and saw the same problem, the query plan is bad, but if we avoid use the prepare statement the query works fine and the performance problem is overcome. Since we have the application with java and use every time the preparedstatement sentence from java, it is very expensive for us , change the code. Do you have any solution for these problem?

Hello.I test some query on sql server 2000 (sp2 on OS windows 2000) and iwant to know why a simple query like this :select * from Table Where Column like '%value'is more slow on 2000 than on sql 7.And this case arrive only if the % character is in the begin.If you test this :select * from Table Where Column like 'v%alue'then it's more fast on 2000.I look the execution plan, there is a difference but this differenceis the same in all the case i test (for the two query i write in thismessage for example).I don't understand why and so, if someone have an explanation, andperhaps a solution ...Excuse my poor english language.And thanks for time people spend to answer me.

I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly. My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys. So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys. I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit. I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it. I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates. When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template. This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value. So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors. I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode. I make my changes and then select "update." When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing. The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work. When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again. Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People]. My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list. If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database. It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed. If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can. This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go. I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian

SELECT * on a 4000 row table is taking more than 12 seconds.
Other larger tables are not nearly as slow.
I've DBCC dbreindex'd, and dbcc showcontig shows density at 100%.
How can I figure out why this is happening?
What are some remedies?
Thanks for your help.

I have a SELECT TOP query in order to return x number of top records from a table which has the indexing service enabled on it, such as this :
SELECT TOP(15) * FROM [TableName] ORDER BY [ColumnName]
and also there are not that many records(MAX 100 rows) kept in the table at the moment however, it will grow later.
The issue stems out from the ORDER BY [ColumnName] part of the syntax that changes the TOP selection order which makes the query to run very slow as I have also analyzed in the SQL SERVER QUERY ANALYZER.
Anyhow, I need to have the ORDER BY statement to show the data based on different columns either ascending or descending.
There might we workarounds to achieve the same goal that I am not aware of.
Any thoughts is appreciated.

Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.

Because other reasons. I need to modify that query to:

WHERE Conditions are true
ORDER BY Field01
SELECT DISTINCT [Field02] FROM AuxTable
The the results are:

Is there any good suggestion?

Dear MS SQL Experts,I have to get the number of datasets within several tables in my MSSQL2000 SP4 database.Beyond these tables is one table with about 13 million entries.If I perform a "select count(*) from table" it takes about 1-2 min toperform that task.Since I know other databases like MySQL which take less than 1 sec forthe same taskI'm wondering whether I have a bug in my software or whether there areother mechanisms to get the number of datasets for tables or the numberof datasets within the whole database.Can you give me some hints ?Best regards,Daniel Wetzler

Our company records live sales into an SQL Server database. The same tables that store the sale information are also used by a reporting interface to query sales figures, but occasionally a SELECT generated by the reports is so slow that it causes the INSERT operations to time out and fail.
We've tried increasing the CommandTimeout property in .NET of the application performing the inserts, but despite it being set to 90 seconds, it's still not enough to prevent the occasional sale from failing to record which is a big no-no for us. We've run the Database Tuning Advisor on the stored procedure that generates the SELECT for the reports, and it is now fully optimized but still this isn't enough. The tables are quite massive (millions of rows) and the SELECT requires JOINs to other tables, some of which are in a separate database on the same server.
Is there a solution to this problem, aside from increasing the CommandTimeout property to the point where no timeout errors occur? My concern is that doing this could increase the number of concurrent connections and we'd hit another limit, so it's not really solving the problem. Is there a way to configure SQL Server to always favour INSERTs over SELECTs? The reporting users won't really care if the reports are slower but it's critical to get these INSERTs up to 100% reliability.
I'm not a DBA (just a developer) so I don't have an intricate knowledge of databases and this problem is a bit beyond my level of expertise. Obviously we don't want to re-design our entire system, but we'll do whatever necessary to ensure we aren't failing to record sales.
One idea I had, which may be awful I don't know, is to submit these sales to an MSMQ and write some software that will read from the queue and insert the records from there instead. We could then deal with the timeout issue by just re-submitting the sale until it is accepted, then removing it from the queue.

In an ASP, I have a dynamically created SQL statement that amounts to "SELECT * FROM Server1.myDB.dbo.myTable WHERE Col1 = 1" (Col1 is the table's primary key). It returns the data immediately when executed.
However, when the same record is updated with "UPDATE Server1.myDB.dbo.myTable SET Comments = 'blah blah blah' WHERE Col1 = 1", the page times out before the query can complete.
I watched the program in Profiler, and I saw on the update that sp_cursorfetch was being executed as an RPC once per each row in the table. In a table of 78000 records, the timeout occurs well before the last record is fetched, and the update bombs.
I can run the same statements in Query Analyzer from a linked server and have the same results. The execution plan shows that a Remote Query is occurring on the select that returns 1 row, and a Remote Scan is taking place on the update scanning 78000 rows (I guess this is where all the sp_cursorfetch calls are happening...?).
How can I prevent the Remote Scan? How can I prevent the execution of the RPC sp_cursorfetch for each row in the remote table?
Thank you!
