UDF With Tally Table Runs Slower Than While Loop

Aug 24, 2015

I'm migrating electronic records from a legacy system and the new system has strict requirements for ASCII characters in certain metadata fields. I wrote a UDF to display illegal characters, so I can work out how to map them.

The UDF used a while loop and to improve performance, I wrote the equivalent UDF using a tally table. The tally table version actually ran significantly slower. Query calling UDF using cross apply took 26 secsfor the while loop versus 119 secs for Tally table, for test data of 97000 rows

I would like to work out why, as I will use similar code to replace the illegal characters .

-- while loop version of UDF

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[DisplayIllegalChars](@strText VARCHAR(4000))
RETURNS @TableVariable TABLE (
Chr CHAR(1)
,AsciiValue INT)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @intCount INT
DECLARE @chrCheck CHAR

Query Runs Slower When Converted To A View

Jul 23, 2005

I have a query I developed and optimised as well as possible beforeconverting to a view.When running in query analyser the query runs in 15 to 18 seconds -which is acceptable.When "converting" into a view ( This is necessary for operationalreasons) and running with the same parameter it runs in 3 to 4minutes.Is there something I am unaware of ( well of course there is !!) -I was wondering why this occurs and how I can avoid / correct theissue.All advice gratefully received.Dave ( Still learning stuff about SQL Server every day!!)

Foreach Loop Runs Out Of Memory

Apr 2, 2007

Hi



I have a for each loop which steps through an ado recordset (approx. 5,000 rows), this passes two variables to an SQL statement which populates a second recordset (normally 8 to 10 rows). I use the second recordset in a dataflow task which was a simple Script which returns approximately 30 rows for inclusion in my destination table. The package runs for a while OK, although the loop appears to execute slowly, then I get the below message constantly repeated in the debug window.


[DTS.Pipeline] Information: The buffer manager detected that the system was low on virtual memory, but was unable to swap out any buffers. 174 buffers were considered and 174 were locked. Either not enough memory is available to the pipeline because not enough is installed, other processes are using it, or too many buffers are locked.
I have 2gb of virtual memory on my machine, and the recordsets are relatively small. Have I missed a seting some where?

SQL Server 2012 :: Normalize Values From Column Split Using Tally Table?

Apr 23, 2014

I have a table that has the following structure:

EntryID int,
Categories varchar(200)

values look like:

541,'A,B,C'
345,'B,C'
234,'A,C'
657,'D,E'
435,'D'

what I want to do is extract the Categories column to a normalized separate table:

541,'A'
541,'B'
541,'C'
345,'B' ....

I found the split using the tally table useful to split one-by-one, but how can it be applied when you are referring to a table?

SQL Server 2012 :: Populate Number Table Variation With Inline Tally?

Dec 27, 2014

I have to create a table like this across a bunch of servers. I'm thinking that I'm overlooking something with needing two additional CTEs, but maybe not. I have it at 17 seconds, which isn't much faster than a while loop solution that's currently in place.

DECLARE @START DATETIME,
@msg NVARCHAR(MAX) = N''
USE tempdb
SELECT @START = GETDATE()
CREATE TABLE dbo.EulerSource ( [SID] INT, Euler BIGINT )

Help Cursor Based Stored Procedure Is Getting Slower And Slower!

Jul 20, 2005

I am begginner at best so I hope someone that is better can help.I have a stored procedure that updates a view that I wrote using 2cursors.(Kind of a Inner Loop) I wrote it this way Because I couldn'tdo it using reqular transact SQL.The problem is that this procedure is taking longer and longer to run.Up to 5 hours now! It is anaylizing about 30,000 records. I thinkpartly because we add new records every month.The procedure works like this.The first Cursor stores a unique account and duedate combination fromthe view.It then finds all the accts in the view that have that account duedatecombo and loads them into Cursor 2 this groups them together for datamanipulation. The accounts have to be grouped this way because aaccount can have different due dates and multiple records within eachaccount due date combo and they need to be looked at this way aslittle singular groups.Here is my procedure I hope someone can shead some light on this. Myboss is giving me heck about it.

Why SSIS Package Slower And Slower

Mar 1, 2008

hi, friends, please look at this:

I have a SSIS package, and inside it I do something like below:

1. I have a SQL component, to give back a object to store the records.
2. I have a VB script component, I direct the object I got in 1 step into the script as a dataset.


My problem is:
I run the package in the SQL SERVER 2005 Store Procedue like this:

do
dtexec.exe package.dtsx
loop untill i>t

I control the it runs 30 times. But I found that the speed is slower and slower.
the first time, it takes about 600 s, but the last time, it takes the 1800 s.

Why?
The package don't drop the object it create during the loop in the Store Procedue ?
Thanks!

A Procedure Runs Slow As A Job But Runs Fast Executed In A Query Window

Apr 23, 2008

Performance issue.


I have a very complex Stored Procedure called by a Job that is Scheduled to run every night.
It's execution takes sometimes 1 or 2 hours and sometimes 7 hours or more.

So, if it is running for more than 4 hours I stop the Job and I run the procedure from a Query Window and it never takes more than 2 hours.

Can anyone help me identify the problem ? I want to run from the Job and not to worry about it.

Some more information:
- It is SQL 2000 Enterprise with SP4 in a Cluster (It happens the same way in any node).
- The SQL Server and SQL Agent services run using a Domain Account that have full Administrative access.
- When I connect to a Query Window I also use a Windows Account.

- There is no locks or process bloking or being blocked while the job is running.
- Using the Task Manager the processor activity is ok, no more than 30 % in any processor.

Tables For Cumulative Tally And Carrying Balances Forward?

Nov 14, 2014

I have a client that I provide financial modelling services to (using Excel). They have a requirement to start capturing subscriber movements in their SQL DB. how the table should be set-up and how to extract the necessary movements report. This is largely so that I may include these components in some of the financial models that I am working on.

Subscribers are reported as follows:

Opening subs (the prior periods closing balance; or the sum of new sales at point of 1st entry)

+ New Sales (new subs)

+ Upgrades (movement from a lower product package to the associated package)

- Downgrades (movement to a lower product package from the associated package)

- Churn (subscriber losses)

Closing Balance

All transactions are captured against a specific product package, on a specific date (ymd), and for an associated platform (e.g. digital TV, broadband TV, cable TV).

I believe we only need to capture new sales, upgrades, downgrades and churn. And then used a SP to compile the movements behaviour as described above.

So perhaps the table would appear as follows:

Platform
Package
Date
Movement
Value

DTV
PROD 1
2014-11-02
New Sales
8

DTV
PROD 1
2014-11-02
Upgrades
1

[code]....

So I am assuming that given a table such as the above, we could write a SP to produce an output such as (note, below looks at monthly total so will not agree back to sample above which contains only 2 days):

Platform
Package
Movement
September
October
November

DTV
PROD 1
OPEN
600
676
776

DTV
PROD 1
New Sales
92
106
88

[code]....

how one is best to accumulate the balances given that the open date for any given reporting period is in fact an accumulation of all balances since day 1.

How does one typically capture this type of thing in SQL?

Stored Procedure Just Runs And Runs

Oct 9, 2001

I have a stored proceedure (which I will tag on at the end for those interested) which is taking at least 15 minutes to run when executed, but completes in 1 minute when the tsql statement is run in Query Analyser. Why is this?

I suspect that it may be connected to table indexing, but why then is this bypassed when QA is used?

Any advice appreciated.

After SSIS Package Runs All Rows, All Fields Are NULL In Destination Table ???

Jul 21, 2007

I am copying a simple table from a Sql Server 2005 database to an *.sdf mobile database.

I am brand new to SSIS and I am probably doing something wrong. But after executing the SSIS package all the rows and all the fields are NULL in the destination database. I put a datagrid viewer between the OLE DB Source and the Sql Server compact edition destination and I can see the real data which is obviously not ALL NULL.



Does anyone have a clue as to why it would be doing this?





Any help would be much appreciated.



Thanks...

How Can I Build A Table Using A SP In A For Each Loop

I have a table of CategoryIDs and I want to increment through it passing each categoryID as a parameter to a stored procedure that returns the TOP 1 row, and build a new table from the the result.    I do not know how to pass the categoryID into the stored procedure.  I do not know how to begin building the new table.
public DataTable GetContractorCats()    {        // Generates table of all Contractor Category IDs no parameters        SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings  ["ConnectionString2"].ConnectionString);        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("GetContractorCatIDs", con);        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;        SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();        da.SelectCommand = cmd;        DataSet ds = new DataSet();        try        {            da.Fill(ds, "ContractorCats");            return ds.Tables["ContractorCats"];        }        catch        { throw new ApplicationException("Data error"); }    }protected void Top1EachCategory(){    // need to build a new table row by row using a stored procedure that finds the top result from a database query    int RowIncrement;    RowIncrement = 0;    DataTable dt1 = GetContractorCats();    foreach (DataRow row in dt1.Rows)    {       I need to pass value of dt1 table ["CG_ID"] as a parameter to Stored Procedure called "GetTop1"       Run the stored procedure which returns a single row if the CG_ID is found and use its field values to build each row in a new table.       The stored procedure returns C_Name, Category_Name, C_Email, C_RCode and C_City
      RowIncrement++;     }

Loop Through Table Until Max Amount?

Sep 10, 2012

I have a table with AmountSold and AmountLeftWith. I have to buy from the customers until the amount bought =250,000.

The max that user can buy is 250,000 so customers 1-3 get left with 0 (AmountLeftWith ) and customer 4 with 577 (AmountLeftWith ) after the update as user couldn't buy the entire amount as it would have exceeded 250,000. Preferably the query should stop afterwards and not proceed to check the other customers.

--===== If the test table already exists, drop it
IF OBJECT_ID('TempDB..#tmpCustomerAmount','U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #tmpCustomerAmount
CREATE TABLE #tmpCustomerAmount (
[id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,

[Code] ......

Loop Through A Get All Table Names

Mar 12, 2008

I'd like to loop through a database and get all the user table names and insert them into another table. What's the best way to do this without using a cursor?
This gives me the last table only.

declare @table_name char(50)

select @table_name = object_name(id) from sysindexes where indid =0

INSERT INTO holding.dbo.tbl_inputfiles
(IP_File, IP_Act, IP_Import)
Values (@table_name,'Y','ADV')

How To Get Single Table While Using WHILE Loop

Aug 25, 2015

I was writing a query to get the age and the retirement year for all the employees.And thought of using while loop so that I don't have to write IF conditions or case statements for all the ages.

I'm using the AdventureWorks2012 database.And the actual table looks like this.

SELECT * FROM HumanResources.Employee

*NOTE:- These tables are not the complete tables.

BusinessEntityID                JobTitle                                 BirthDate             MaritalStatus       Gender
       1                       Chief Executive Officer                    1963-03-02   S                          M
       2                 Vice President of Engineering               1965-09-01               S                         F
      3                         Engineering Manager                    1968-12-13          M                         M
      4                        Senior Tool Designer                       1969-01-23                S                         M

[Code] ...

And after I wrote the query to get the age and the retirement year of all the employees I got 70 tables for all the ages from 30 to 70. As the starting age is 30 and the last age is 70 in the table.So,I just want to know how I can settle all the tables into a single table as a sinle result and not as multiple results.

The query for age and retirement year....

DECLARE @Counter INT
DECLARE @Duration INT
DECLARE @Result DATE
SET @Counter=(SELECT MIN(DATEDIFF(YY,BirthDate,GETDATE()))FROM HumanResources.Employee)
SET @Duration=30

[Code] .....

And the result tables.

BusinessEntityID     JobTitle     BirthDate    AGE    MaritalStatus    Gender    Retirement Year69    
Production Technician - WC60     1985-05-07   30   S    M     2045-08-25 22:36:38.160115  
Production Technician - WC50     1985-07-01   30     S    F     2045-08-25 22:36:38.160133  
Production Technician - WC40     1985-02-04     30    S    M     2045-08-25 22:36:38.160144
    
[Code] ....

And it goes like this for 70 times. So just want to know how I can merge those 70 tables into a single table.

Loop Through A Table Which Has Table Metadata

Feb 18, 2015

I am trying to loop through a table which has table metadata and create a:

- 'STORED PROCEDURE'
- This will SELECT all the data in the table and add a hashed column at the end
- Each table has a unique ID
-

Instead of a cursor would there be a set-based approach to achieving this?

METADATA TABLE :

IDTableNameColumnNameHashByteCalculation
111dbo.TableAColA CAST(ISNULL(LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHARColA, 120), 10),'NA') AS varchar) + '|' +
111dbo.TableAColBCAST(ISNULL(LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR,ColB, 120), 10),'NA') AS varchar) + '|' +
111dbo.TableAColCISNULL(ColC,'NA') + '|' +
111dbo.TableAColDISNULL(ColD,'NA') + '|' +
222dbo.TableBColAACAST(ISNULL(LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR,ColAA, 120), 10),'NA') AS varchar) + '|' +
222dbo.TableBColBBISNULL(ColBB,'NA') + '|' +
222dbo.TableBColCCISNULL(ColCC,'NA') + '|' +

From the above data I want to generate:

SELECT
ColA
,ColB
,ColC
,ColD
, (CAST(ISNULL(LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHARColA, 120), 10),'NA') AS varchar) + '|' +

[Code] ....

Update Table With A Loop Through A Query?

Sep 20, 2013

I want to make a SP to update table Product with information I get from table Orderdetail.

Create Procedure UpdateVoorraad
§OrderId (int)
As
Select ProductId, Tal From Orderdetail where OrderId = @OrderId

-- this query get info from table orderdetail : ProductId (integer) and Tal (smallint)

-- Tal = Number of Products

-- Here I want to loop through the query above

-- and for each record in the query I want to update

-- table Product.

Update Product Set Product.Voorraad = Product.Voorraad - Tal where ProductId = ProductId

To do this must I make a create a tempory table, store the query result in the table loop through the table and update table product, or can I try to create a function without a temporary table.

For / While Loop - Enter Data Into A Table

Feb 19, 2015

I want to, for each month of the year 2014 say, to create a loop that will enter data into a table.

Right now I have:

Select [Member Number],
sum(case when [Receipt Date]='2014/01/01' then Amount else 0 end) as [Rec 2014/01/01]
From [Receipts Table]
Group by [Member Number]
Insert into [Receipts 2014/01/01]

[Code] ....

Instead I would just like to do something like…

Declare i date
For i=2014/01/01 to 2014/12/01

Select [Member Number],
sum(case when [Receipt Date]=i then Amount else 0 end) as [Rec +i]

From [Receipts Table]
Group by [Member Number]
Insert into [Receipts + i]

Don’t know if this is at all possible?

Is There Any Way In A Sproc To LOOP Thru The Records Of A Table ?

Sep 21, 2005

Hi. It seems to be very simple, actually, but I don't know if it isfeasible in TSQL. I have a sproc which gathers in one place many callsto different other sprocs, all of them taking a 'StoreGroupe'parameter. I would like to add a case where if the call has NOStoreGroupe parameter, the sproc should LOOP thru all records in tableStoreGroupeTable, read the column StoreCode, and pass that value as aparam to the other sprocs, as in:CREATE PROCEDURE MySproc(@StoreGroupe nvarchar(6) = NULL)ASif (@StoreGroupe is not null)BeginExec _Sproc1 @StoreGroupeExec _Sproc2 @StoreGroupeExec _Sproc3 @StoreGroupeExec _Sproc4 @StoreGroupe...............EndElseBeginA 'Group Code' has NOT been specifiedI want to take all the StoreGroups in tableStoreGroupeTable, in turn.I would like to do SOMETHING LIKE THIS:Do While not [StoreGroupeTable].EOFRead [Code] from [StoreGroupeTable]Set @StoreGroupe = The value I just readExec _Sproc1 @StoreGroupeExec _Sproc2 @StoreGroupeExec _Sproc3 @StoreGroupeExec _Sproc4 @StoreGroupe...............LoopEndGOIs that feasible in a sproc, or do I have to do this in the client(ADO) ?Thanks a lot.Alex.

Loop Thru A SQL Table In Stored Proc?

Jul 20, 2005

Hello,Does anyone know of a way to loop thru a SQL table using code in a storedprocedure?I need to go thru each record in a small table and build a string usingvalues from the fields associated with a part number, and I can't find anyway to process each record individually. The string needs to be initializedwith the data associated with the 1st record's part number, and I need tobuild the string until a new part number is incurred. Once a new part numberis found in the table, the string is written to a different table and resetfor this next part number in the table. Need to repeat until all records inthe table have been processed.I use ADO in access 2000 to work thru local recordsets, I just can't findanyway to do this in a stored SQL procedure.Thanks for any suggestions, Eric.

Random Loop Through Table Without Using The Same Records Over Again.

Jul 31, 2007

Hello,

Anyone have any suggestions on creating a query that will randomly select records from a table, but not use those records again. I have some code that does it, but it uses the same fields over again, and also throws in some blank records that I did not specify in the query. I am creating a test engine that has to randomly ask questions.
