Performance With Parameters Value

Apr 9, 2008



Hi,

I have a user defined function which has 5 parametes to pass, now while running the Table Valued Function using hardcoded parametes value its taking only 10 seconds , but while running the UDF by declaring the parametes value and
assigned them value its taking more than 3 minutes.

here is the example

First case

select * from UDF_Test('A',76,'C',987,''X')

This one taking only 10 minutes to run.

Second case


Declare @P1 varchar,


@P2 Int,
@P3 varchar,
@P4 int,
@P5 varchar


SET @P1 = 'A'

@P2= 76

@P3='C'
@P4 = 987
@P5='X'

Select * from TVF_Test(@P1,@P2,@P3,@P4,@P5) as test
where test.column1=@P1

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Performance Issues With Parameters

Jul 17, 2006

I have run into a very odd issue with the performance of one of our stored procedures. The SP seems to perform very poorly if I embed the parameters directly into the query. If I declare local variables to hold the parameter values, the SP runs a lot faster.
This stored procedure takes about 26 seconds:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.jk_ReportData_Get
 @startDate datetime, @endDate datetime, @entityID int, @reportID int
AS
select sum(amount_mtd) Amount, account_id, entity_id from data where account_id in  (select paramvalue  from cellparameter  where cell_id in   (select cell_id   from report_reportsection rrs   inner join reportsection rs   on rrs.reportsection_id = rs.id   inner join reportsection_cell rsc   on rs.id = rsc.reportsection_id   where report_id = @reportID)) and thedate between @startDate and @endDate and data.entity_id = @entityID group by account_id, entity_id GO
 
When I change it to the following, it takes less than one second:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.jk_ReportData_Get
 @temp1 smalldatetime, @temp2 smalldatetime, @temp3 int, @temp4 intAS
declare @startDate datetimeset @startDate = @temp1declare @endDate datetimeset @endDate = @temp2declare @entityID intset @entityID = @temp3 declare @reportID intset @reportID = @temp4
select sum(amount_mtd) Amount, account_id, entity_id from data where account_id in  (select paramvalue  from cellparameter  where cell_id in   (select cell_id   from report_reportsection rrs   inner join reportsection rs   on rrs.reportsection_id = rs.id   inner join reportsection_cell rsc   on rs.id = rsc.reportsection_id   where report_id = @reportID)) and thedate between @startDate and @endDate and data.entity_id = @entityID group by account_id, entity_id GO
Can anyone explain this please??? :)  Notice it is the same query in both cases. The only difference is in the parameters...

Parameters && Report Performance ..

Jan 28, 2008

Hi all,
I have a report which uses two different datasets. The first one is used to get the required data and the second one is to get the customer name to be used in a parameter.
I had a major performance issue with the report as the first dataset is very complex. And after I did a lot of SQL tuning to the first dataset, it is now working fine with an acceptable performance.
The problem now is when I tried to add a condition in this dataset to be used by the parameter like
WHERE CUSTOMER_NAME IN (@CustName )
The performance of the report is getting very bad again and the report can take more than 15 min. to get the result.
The second dataset is a simple query that is used to get the customer name from the customer table so I don€™t think it is the problem.
Any ideas? Do you think it has anything to do with the SSRS parameters.
Thanks all.

JDBC 1.2 - Decreased Performance When Using Parameters

Nov 22, 2007

Hi all.
Context: SQL 2000, JDBC 1.2

I have a query with 9 parameters that run as follows (approximate timing):
1. Using prepared statement: 1,7 sec
2. Re-using the same statement: 1,7 sec
3. Using prepared statement, no parameters (the params are hardcoded): 20 ms
4. Using statement+resultset+rs.getFirst: 20 ms
5. from inside SQL analyzer: instantly

So, I observe a problem when using parameters. Do I miss something, do I have to do something?

If the actual query may help, I will post it promptly.

Thx in advance

Report Performance Hindered Because Of Parameters?

Jan 7, 2008

I'm using sql2000. VB2003.

My report uses the following parameters

WHERE (@Unit='' or a.unit = @Unit) and (@WO='' or a.wo = @WO)

It takes about 23 seconds to run if I type in 71173 as Unit leaving WO blank.

If I edit the SQL to be Where a.unit=71173 it execustes in 1 second.

Where am I going wrong?

I read some of the threads but I couldn't get a clear idea if this is normal or not.

Linked Server/SQL Server OLE DB Performance Problem With Parameters?

Jul 8, 2004

Hi,
I am interested if anyone else has come across performance problems with the SQL Server linked servers to SQL Server. I suspect that the OLE DB Provider that I am using perhaps has some performance issues when passed parameters.

I have set the dynamic paramters option on, and use collation compatible.

Extremely Poor Query Performance - Identical DBs Different Performance

Jun 23, 2006

Hello Everyone,I have a very complex performance issue with our production database.Here's the scenario. We have a production webserver server and adevelopment web server. Both are running SQL Server 2000.I encounted various performance issues with the production server with aparticular query. It would take approximately 22 seconds to return 100rows, thats about 0.22 seconds per row. Note: I ran the query in singleuser mode. So I tested the query on the Development server by taking abackup (.dmp) of the database and moving it onto the dev server. I ranthe same query and found that it ran in less than a second.I took a look at the query execution plan and I found that they we'rethe exact same in both cases.Then I took a look at the various index's, and again I found nodifferences in the table indices.If both databases are identical, I'm assumeing that the issue is relatedto some external hardware issue like: disk space, memory etc. Or couldit be OS software related issues, like service packs, SQL Serverconfiguations etc.Here's what I've done to rule out some obvious hardware issues on theprod server:1. Moved all extraneous files to a secondary harddrive to free up spaceon the primary harddrive. There is 55gb's of free space on the disk.2. Applied SQL Server SP4 service packs3. Defragmented the primary harddrive4. Applied all Windows Server 2003 updatesHere is the prod servers system specs:2x Intel Xeon 2.67GHZTotal Physical Memory 2GB, Available Physical Memory 815MBWindows Server 2003 SE /w SP1Here is the dev serers system specs:2x Intel Xeon 2.80GHz2GB DDR2-SDRAMWindows Server 2003 SE /w SP1I'm not sure what else to do, the query performance is an order ofmagnitude difference and I can't explain it. To me its is a hardware oroperating system related issue.Any Ideas would help me greatly!Thanks,Brian T*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Query Duration Using Parameters Vrs No Parameters

Apr 27, 2006

Hi,
I have an app in C# that executes a query using SQLCommand and parameters and is taking too much time to execute.

I open a SQLProfiler and this is what I have :

exec sp_executesql N' SELECT TranDateTime ... WHERE CustomerId = @CustomerId',
N'@CustomerId nvarchar(4000)', @CustomerId = N'11111

I ran the same query directly from Query Analyzer and take the same amount of time to execute (about 8 seconds)

I decided to take the parameters out and concatenate the value and it takes less than 2 second to execute.

Here it comes the first question...
Why does using parameters takes way too much time more than not using parameters?

Then, I decided to move the query to a Stored Procedure and it executes in a snap too.
The only problem I have using a SP is that the query can receive more than 1 parameter and up to 5 parameters, which is easy to build in the application but not in the SP

I usually do it something like
(@CustomerId is null or CustomerId = @CustomerId) but it generate a table scan and with a table with a few mills of records is not a good idea to have such scan.

Is there a way to handle "dynamic parameters" in a efficient way???

Parameters Dependencies When Using Parameters!Name.Label

Mar 7, 2007

Hello:

I just recently bumped into this problem and I think I know what's causing it. This is the setup:

Report Parameters: FromDate, ToDate, DivisionalOffice, Manager, SalesRep

dsCalendarEvents Parameters: FromDate.Value, ToDate.Value, DivisionalOffice.Value,

dsDivisions Parameters: N/A

dsManager Parameters: DivisionalOffice.Value

dsSalesRep: DivisionalOffice.Label

When I query the ReportServices WS and scan the parameter dependencies for SalesRep it says there are four dependencies: FromDate, ToDate, DivisionalOffice and Manager!!!

If I change "dsSalesRep" to use "DivisionalOffice.Value" the ReportingServices WS parameter dependency scan returns only one dependency for "SalesRep" parameter!!!( This is the correct behavior )

Has anybody seen this behavior and more importantly, is there a work around?

Regards,

Parameters.AddWithValue Vs. Parameters.Add

Jan 2, 2008

Hello all,
Given: 
string commandText = "Categories_Delete";SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(commandText, connection);myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
   Is there a reason NOT to use myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CategoryID",CategoryID); I'd prefer to use that over  myCommand.Parameters.Add("@CategoryID", SqlDbType.Int, 4).Value = CategoryID; as I have these functions being created dynamically and hope to get away from a big lookup to try to convert System.Types into SqlDbTypes. [shudder]  
It seems that ADO.NET makes an implicit conversion to the valid type.  If this is correct then I can move on fat dumb and happy.  Anyone have any good insight?
Thanks,

Sql Parameters

Nov 1, 2004

Hi,

I'm having a bit of trouble with SQL Parameters. I can't seem to define the type when creating the parameters.

Here's what I've done:

I have a function that processes my request and returns a datatable:

Public Function Grab_Data(querystring asn string, params() as SqlParameter) as DataTable
... dims all the necessary variables
Try
...creates the connection and command
Dim p as SqlParameter
For each p in params
p = command.parameters.add(p)
p.direction = parameterdirection.input
Next
...opens connection, creates dataset and fills it
Finall
....disposes connection and command
End Try
Return datatable
End Function


I call this function by:
...dim the necessary variables
querystring = "SELECT * FROM Tbl_Users WHERE Joined>=@date"
dataTable = Grab_Data(querystring, New SQLParameter("@date", DateTime.Today))

My code works fine and I get the results that I want, but no where in my code is the type of the parameter defined.

I tried calling the function like:
Grab_Data(querystring, New SQLParameter("@date", SQLDBType.DateTime, DateTime.Today))

But when I do this, I get an error saying that no value is assigned to @date.

Can anyone tell me what I need to modify so that I can pass the type of the parameter to the function?

The reason why I am not explicity defining the parameters in the function is because I can reusing the function numerous times throughout my code. So some calls have three parameters passed to it and some and none.

Thanks.

Parameters And LIKE

Apr 17, 2006

I'm trying to do this:

ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.SkillSearch
(
@skillname char(255)
)
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT * FROM Skill WHERE SkillName LIKE @skillname

However, when I run dbo.skillsearch 'ph%'

I get an empty set, while dbo.skillsearch 'php' returns the results expected.

I am therefore assuming that I can't use a parameter for a LIKE clause with any wildcards?

Is there any way around this other than manually building the SQL statement in the SP and then executing it? I'd obviously prefer to not have to do it that way for all the SQL Injections and related reasons.

Wouldn't this also kill my query optimization benefits, manually building the statement each time?

Thanks,

New SP Vs Parameters

Jan 18, 2007

I have a table of 25-30 million properties, from which are retrieved~150 centered on a point, based on the parameters -- coordinates,property type and date of transaction. There's an SP (also implementedas a function returning a table) to return the desired records.This look-up takes the most time in the C# program that calls it, andshould be optimized. It was suggested that instead of having an SP onthe server, each time the program should create an SP that is the same,however without any parameters -- with the values hard-coded. Thenexecute it, and drop it. This way, the execution plan will becustomized for the specific parameters. I tried it and it turns outthe suggested method is noticeably faster, even compared to recompilingan SP every time. I was wondering if there is a way to get equivalentperformance out of an SP or UDF that has parameters, or is thisapproach necessarily going to be less optimized than hard-codednon-parameters.Thanks,Jim
