Tuning An Application Statement With Bind Variables
Jul 20, 2005
Hi gurus,
I just started to look at a very slow-running SQL statement
generated by an application (Siebel). I spooled the SQL from the
application, replaced the bind variables by their values, and tuned
from the Query Analyser. But after awhile, I realized that the
statement using bind variables and the same statement using the values
instead of the bind variables often have completely different
execution plans! Is that normal? Can someone tell me how the SQL
Server treats bind variables. Don't worry about being too technical,
I'm an Oracle DBA/developer.
Thanx
Daniel

Hi,
I'm writing an Access pass-through query against a SQL server backend and I need some advice on passing parameters. Currently I use vba to substitute the literal values for the parameters prior to passing the query to SQL Server. However, I am going through a loop thousands of times with different literals for these parameters which causes the server's cache to fill up. In Oracle, there is a way to use bind variables for the parameters so that only one copy of the query is cached.
Does anyone know how I can do this in SQL Server?
For instance, I have 20,000 employees and I'm pulling info by SS#:
Select * from EmpTable where SS_number = [SSN]
Is there a way I can pass this query to SQL Server and then pass the value of [SSN] as I loop through the dataset?
Thanks.

Using prepared statements like Oracle does? This way in a high transactionsystem you do not have to recompile queries every time?

Hi,
Could anyne help me on which options in Profiler could be used to trace the bind variables in DML?
Given a table, X (col1 number, col2 varchar(10)), where col1 is primary key.
Example DML statements:
1) insert into X values (@parameter1, @parameter2)
2) update X set col2 = @parameter2 where col1 = @parameter1
3) delete X where col1 = @parameter1
where @parameter1 and @parameter2 are bind variables.
Can Profiler be configured to log the actual values of @parameter1 and @parameter2 in the example statements in trace log?
Thanks a lot.

HiI've heard 2 things recently, can I confirm if their true/false?(1) If you have a stored procedure and you want to optimise it you cancall exec proc1,you could also use define/set for each of the variables and copy thecode into query analyser,this then makes it easier to tune. However the optimiser worksdifferently for these variables than it does for variables passed intothe query via exec and will produce a less optimalplan(2) There is a different optimiser used in query analyser than thatused otherwise? A colleaguehad a problem where a stored procedure called from dotnet code wasrunning slowly butone run from query analyser via exec, with exactly the same arguments,was running quicklyta

hi!!!the following is the sql which is veri slow cos of the 'Not In' clause,would appreciate if u anyone can suggest any other way to bring aboutthe same resultSELECT Id, LOC, AGENCY, BATCHFROM tblRowsWHERE tblRows.AGENCY NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT B.AGENCYFROM tblRows AS A, tblRows AS BWHERE A.LOC = "B"AND B.AGENCY = A.AGENCYAND B.BATCH = A.BATCH)tblRowsID LOC AGENCY BATCH1 B 1000 WAD2 R 1000 WAD3 B 1010 QAD4 B 1020 WAD5 R 1020 WAD6 R 1030 RRR7 I 1030 RRR8 V 1030 RRR9 B 1040 UIA10 R 1040 UIA11 I 1040 UIA12 V 1040 UIAthe subquery is to return the rows with LOC = B. the above query as thewhole should return the rows where LOC <> b and also must exclude rowsbelong to the LOC = B subset (that is for example the first two rowswith ID 1 and 2. the first row with ID 1 has LOC as B, Agency as 1000and BATCH as WAD. the second row with Id 2 has LOC as R as the sameAGENCY and BATCH as first row with ID 1 so is the subset of first row.similarly row with Id's 4 and 5.the above query must return the following the rows (that is we can saythe orphan rows which doesn't have LOC AS B nor belongs to the B'ssubset6 R 1030 RRR7 I 1030 RRR8 V 1030 RRRhope i am clear in my explanation and would appreciate if someone canpoint me in the right direction. the reason for posting this in msaccess group is because this is going to be a query in MS Access.regardsbala

Hi,
I need to delete the following records (from enrollment_fact):
SELECT
a."STU_SID",
a."SCHOOL_YEAR",
a."DATE_SID",
a."LOC_SID"
FROM "dbo"."ENROLLMENT_FEX2" b,
"dbo"."LOCATION_DIM" c
LEFT OUTER JOIN
"dbo"."ENROLLMENT_FACT" a
on c."LOC_SID" = a."LOC_SID"
WHERE
b."LOC_KEY" = c."LOC_KEY"
and
a."DATE_SID" between b."MIN_DATE" and b."MAX_DATE"
This is the approach (excuse the misuse of the concat function, but you get the idea)
DELETE FROM "dbo"."ENROLLMENT_FACT"
WHERE CONCAT (a."STU_SID", a."SCHOOL_YEAR", a."DATE_SID", a."LOC_SID")
IN (
SELECT DISTINCT CONCAT (a."STU_SID",
a."SCHOOL_YEAR",
a."DATE_SID",
a."LOC_SID"
)
FROM "dbo"."ENROLLMENT_FEX2" b,
"dbo"."LOCATION_DIM" c
LEFT OUTER JOIN "dbo"."ENROLLMENT_FACT" a
ON c."LOC_SID" = a."LOC_SID"
AND a."DATE_SID" BETWEEN b."MIN_DATE"
AND b."MAX_DATE")
comments? better way? (without using an sp)
thanks

Below is a simple UPDATE that I have to perform on a table that hasabout 2.5 million rows (about 4 million in production) This queryruns for an enourmous amount of time (over 1 hour).

I'm updating the name data in a large user database with the following UPDATE statement. The staging table was bulk loaded from a flat file and contains 10 million records. The production table (Recipients) contains 15 million records. This worked correctly but this single update statement took an entire ten hours to run which is way too long. While it was running the server was clearly 100% disk bound. CPU activity was near nothing. We've just upgraded RAM from 1GB to 2GB but we expect data sizes to grow significantly and we can't keep adding RAM. Absolutely nothing else is running on this server. Any ideas how I can optimize this?
UPDATE Recipients
SET [First] = Stages.[First]
, [Last] = Stages.[Last]
FROM
Stages
INNER JOIN Recipients ON
(Stages.UserName = Recipients.UserName
AND Stages.DomainID = Recipients.DomainID)
WHERE
(CASE WHEN Stages.[First] IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
+ CASE WHEN Stages.[Last] IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
<=
(CASE WHEN Recipients.[First] IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
+ CASE WHEN Recipients.[Last] IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
Text execution plan. I've made small annotations with the % information from the graphical execution plan:
|--Clustered Index Update(OBJECT:([Recipients].[dbo].[Recipients].[PK_Recipients]), SET:([Recipients].[First]=[Stages].[First], [Recipients].[Last]=[Stages].[Last]))
|--Top(ROWCOUNT est 0)
|--Sort(DISTINCT ORDER BY:([Bmk1000] ASC))
14% |--Merge Join(Inner Join, MANY-TO-MANY MERGE:([Stages].[DomainID], [Stages].[UserName])=([Recipients].[DomainID], [Recipients].[UserName]), RESIDUAL:(([Recipients].[UserName]=[Stages].[UserName] AND [Recipients].[DomainID]=[Stages].[Domain
25% |--Clustered Index Scan(OBJECT:([Recipients].[dbo].[Stages].[IX_Stages]), ORDERED FORWARD)
61% |--Clustered Index Scan(OBJECT:([Recipients].[dbo].[Recipients].[PK_Recipients]), ORDERED FORWARD)
Everything I've heard on the subject suggests you change the index scans to index seeks. How do I do this?
Any other tuning advice is greatly appreciated.
Here are the exact statements I used to create the tables:
CREATE TABLE Recipients (
ID INT IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
UserName VARCHAR (50) NOT NULL,
DomainID INT NOT NULL,
First VARCHAR (24) NULL,
Last VARCHAR (24) NULL,
StreetAddress VARCHAR (32) NULL,
City VARCHAR (24) NULL,
State VARCHAR (16) NULL,
Postal VARCHAR (10) NULL,
SourceID INT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_Recipients PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (DomainID, UserName)
)
CREATE TABLE Stages (
ID INT NULL,
UserName VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
DomainID INT NULL,
Domain VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
First VARCHAR(24) NULL,
Last VARCHAR(24) NULL,
StreetAddress VARCHAR(32) NULL,
City VARCHAR(24) NULL,
State VARCHAR(24) NULL,
Postal VARCHAR(10) NULL
)
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX IX_Stages ON Stages (DomainID, UserName)

I am trying to use two variables in my SQL statement to query an access database and then pass the results to a datagrid. Nothing shows up in my datagrid. I think that the syntax on my SQL statement is wrong. I am really not sure how to embed the variables, especially since there are two. I really need help with this, it is for work. The code is posted below. Thanks.
Sub Search_Click( s as Object, e as eventArgs)

The below code connects to a Teradata table and downloads the record set into my excel spreadsheet. No problem. The issue is: using a WHERE clause in the SQL statementI have a form with three variables on the form, (one is a date field and requires a range; (1) DateFrom to DateTo), (2) StatusX and (3) ErrorTypeX. I need to use any combination of these variables to retrieve the desired record set. i.e. variables 1 and 2, or 2 and 3, or 1 and 3 etc. or none of the variables which would return all records.how to set up the variables in the SQL statement?
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
Dim recset As ADODB.Recordset
Set recset = New ADODB.Recordset
Dim cmdSQLData As ADODB.Command
Set cmdSQLData = New ADODB.Command

Hi Guys, I am trying to manipulate an SQL statement based on the return from a menu with auto postback enabled.Simply I am working with dates, so I will declare variables for today, next week, last week and so on.How do I then use this in the SQL? I assumed that if I declared the following Dim my_today As String = Format(Date.Now(), "dd/MMM/yyyy")Then in the SQL I used SELECT * FROM my_table item_date = @my_todayI would get a result, but I get an error. What is the right way to do this? Many thanksSteve

Declare @vname varchar(4)
select @vname = 'MT1'
--This works fine
UPDATE tblTmpLA
SET MT1 = 2222 / 1000
FROM tblTmpLA
WHERE ID = 1
This is the way I want to do it but
UPDATE tblTmpLA
SET @vname = 2222 / 1000
FROM tblTmpLA
WHERE ID = 1
I get the error that
Disallowed implicit conversion from datatype 'int' to datatype 'varchar'
I guess that the variable does not compile as the text that it holds or so it seems.
I want to put this code inside a WHILE loop where the @vname will change on each iteration.
Any ideas?

I'm trying to execute an update statement in a stored procedure that includes a variable for a column and a variable for a conditional constraint. For example I want to execute the following UPDATE, but using variables:
Update table set flagcode = 'A' where Field1 < 100
the field flagcode is a varchar and the field Field1 is an int
This basically how I have my code set up:
declare @flag as varchar(20)
declare @lowrange as varchar(20)
set @flag = 'A'
set @thefield = 'Field1'
exec('update table set Flagcode = ' + @flag + ' where '+@thefield+' < 100')
I get the error:
"Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Invalid column name 'A'."
Please help T-SQL Guru's. You're my only hope.

I have a cursor that goes through a table with the names of all the database in my server. So for each fetch, the cursor gets the name of a database and assign it to a variable, @databaseName, and try to do some queries from that database by using the command "USE @databaseName". But "USE" doesn't take the variable @databaseName; it is expecting a database name (i.e. USE master).
Here is my code:
Declare @databaseName varchar(50)
Declare c_getDatabaseName CURSOR for SELECT name from tblDatabases
OPEN c_getDatabaseName
FETCH NEXT from c_getDatabaseName into @databaseName
While @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
[Code] ....
How to get USE to take the variable value ?

I am new to scripting in general and I've run into an issue when attempting to write a VB variable to a database table in SQL Express. I am trying to record the value of the variable to the db, but it does not appear that the value is being passed to SQL. If I hard code the values in the SQL statement it works fine. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong accomplish this? My code is below. Thanks in advance.
file.aspx
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:SqlConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Table]"
InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [Table] (field1, field2) VALUES (& variable1 &, & variable2 &);" >
</asp:SqlDataSource>

Dim variable1 As String = FileUpload.FileName
Dim variable2 As String = Date.Now
Dim path As String = Server.MapPath("~/directory/)

Hi!
I need a stored procedure with this basic setup:
CREATE PROCEDURE test
@Type int
AS
SELECT *
FROM
Cards
WHERE
CASE @Type = 1111 THEN CardType = 1111 ELSE CardType = 2222 END
GO
I know that the part after WHERE is wrong. But what I would like to achieve is this:
if the @type variable equals 1111 then get alla the rows with that value in the CardType-column. The same if @type = 2222, and if @type is any other value, then choose all rows regardles of the CardType value.
How can this be done?
Thanks!

In order to feed a fact table of a dwh from a staging table I'm using the MERGE statement in order to control insert and update operations. It is possible that the staging table has duplicate rows respect to the fields controlled in the merge condition:
When I run the first time the MERGE statement unwanted rows could be inserted in the fact table.
Does the MERGE statement allow to manage this case or do I need to filter data from the staging table before to write them into the fact table?

And in case of CPU hyperthreading, I assume that the CPU SQL Express running on will be a logical CPU, not a physical CPU, am I right?

Hi,
I am not comfortable with DTS 2000 but I need to execute a encapsulated DTS 2000 package from a SSIS package. The real problem is when I need to pass SSIS variables to DTS 2000 package. The DTS 2000 package have 3 global variables that I can identify on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - Inner Variables ". I believe the SSIS variables must be mapped on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - OuterVariables ". How can I associate the SSIS variables(OuterVariables ) to "Inner Variables"? How can I do it? Much Thanks.

I will run it by commands: exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /SQL ....' (pls see an example below).
It seems it does not get the values passed in for those variables. I deployed the package to a sql server.
are there any grammar errors here? I copied it from dtexecui. It worked inside Dtexecui not in dos command.
exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /SQL "LoadExcelDB" /SERVER test /USER *** /PASSWORD ****

Hi all,I would like to do something I thought was simple but I can't seem to figure it out. I would like to bind the Text properties to two labels to the columns in an SqlDataSource, much the same as you can bind a listbox to a SqlDataSource.Is this possible?The reason why I'm trying it this way is because I originally used an OleDB connection and datareader, but it doesn't seem to work on our service providers server (keeps saying that it can't find the database) even though it works on the four other server's I've tried. It definitely connects to the database when I use the SqlDataSource on a listbox control, but it fails when I use the same connection string with the OleDB connection.Is this the best way to go about it, or should I persist with finding the OleDB/datareader (the service provider has been no help at all). Thanks.
