Query Plan In Clear Text

Dec 11, 2005

hi.
coming from postgresql, i am used to textual references to most of the
things i do with the database. i feel a little lost with all the graphical.

i have few questions regarding MS SQL 2000
1. what is the best (or easiest) way of getting a table definition in text?
it could be either a CREATE TABLE sql-query or a just a definition,
something like:
TABLE thisTable
idinteger
valuevarchar(10)
etc.etc.

2a. how do i get a query plan and how do i get it in text.
2b. are there planner modes that show more or less of what actually
happened, verbose mode perhaps?
2c. if i ask for a query plan, will SQL server actually run the query or
will it only produce a plan. if the query is run, does it commit or
rollback by default?

Avoiding Clear Text Passwords And Editing Of Packages

Oct 26, 2006

Hi!

I have an SQL Server where only a group of sysadmins have access to install DTSX packages. Those DTSX packages are developed by another team that does not have access to the production SQL Server. They use their own SQL Server.

In order to make it as simple as possible to install these packages by the sysadmins, I suggested the use of configuration files. The files are associated with the job that executes the package and all that has to be done to install the package is copy it to the file system or import it into the SQL Server. Developers use their configuration file, sysadmins user theirs. Nothing new here.

The problem is that some of the packages have to access some old systems and we cannot use integrated authentication. We have to use SQL authentication and therefore specify a user account and password in the connection string. If this is stored in the configuration file, it is available in clear text! If I store the configuration in the package itself using ProtectSensitiveWithPassword protection level, the sysadmins will have to edit every DTSX package to reset the connections to the production environment (the developers always send them with their development configurations) and I don't want that. If I store it in a SQL Server database, it seems the sysadmins also have to edit the package to point the package configuration to the correct database and set the configuration filter.

Another solution is to store the credentials in clear text in the configuration file but set the file system permissions on that file so only the account that executes the package can read them (this is what I'm implementing if nothing better comes up...)

Is there any other way to do this? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Estimated Query Plan For A Stored Procedure With Multiple Query Statements

Oct 30, 2015

When viewing an estimated query plan for a stored procedure with multiple query statements, two things stand out to me and I wanted to get confirmation if I'm correct.

1. Under <ParameterList><ColumnReference... does the xml attribute "ParameterCompiledValue" represent the value used when the query plan was generated?

<ParameterList>
<ColumnReference Column="@Measure" ParameterCompiledValue="'all'" />
</ParameterList>
</QueryPlan>
</StmtSimple>

2. Does each query statement that makes up the execution plan for the stored procedure have it's own execution plan? And meaning the stored procedure is made up of multiple query plans that could have been generated at a different time to another part of that stored procedure?

SQL 2005 V9.0.2047 (SP1) - The Query Processor Could Not Produce A Query Plan

May 15, 2006

Hi Everyone:

*Before* I actually call up Microsoft SQL Customer Support Services and ask them, I wanted to ping other people to see if you have ever ran into this exact error

"Internal Query Processor Error: The query processor could not produce a query plan. For more information, contact Customer Support Services."

I would have searched the forums myself, but at this moment in time, search is broken :(

If anyone has run into this error before, what conditions would exist that this could happen? That is, if I can sniff this out with suggestions from the community, I would be happy to do so.

It is an oddity because if I alter a couple subqueries in the where clause [ i.e., where tab.Col = (select val from tab2 where id='122') ]to not have subqueries [hand coded values], then the t-sql result is fine. It's not as if subqueries are oddities... I've used them when appropriate.

fwiw - Not a newbie t-sql guy. ISV working almost daily with t-sql since MS SQL 2000. I have never seen this message before...at least I don't recall ever seeing it.

Thanks in advance for other suggested examination paths.

Transact SQL :: Query Plan Shows Table Not Even In Query?

Jul 22, 2015

I am trying to optimize a stored procedure in SQL 2008. When I look at an actual execution plan generated from when I run it in SSMS it shows a table being used in the plan that has no relation to what is actually in the query script and this is where the biggest performance hit occurs.

I've never seen a table show up before that wasn't part of the query. why this might occur and how to correct it? I can't just change the query script because the table in question isn't there.

Query Plan

Jul 23, 2002

I am noticing a discrepency in query plans when a process is run in Analyzer as either a proc or as straight sql.

I have a query that uses a view of 5 tables that have a check constraint on the year. When I run my query in query analyzer and state year = 1999 along with over parameters then the query plan only looks at the one table.

When I take that query and make a stored proc and run the process passing the year = 1999 along with other parameters the plan states that it is looking at all of the tables in the partitioned view.

Thanks,

Here is a copy of the proc

create procedure testproc
@CUST_I varchar(6),
@FISCAL_DD_D tinyint,
@FISCAL_MM_D tinyint,
@FISCAL_YY_D smallint,
@cont_cvarchar(1),
@invoice varchar(9)

SQL 6.5 Query Execution Plan .

Sep 24, 2002

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 ??

Thanks.

Query Plan Re-use On Views?

Apr 25, 2006

Here's the setup:

Client database has a complex view with eight nested subqueries used to return "dashboard" information. The application code uses NHibernate to call and filter the view with three parameters, one of which is the CustomerID.

A certain customer, (the biggest client), has more than ten times the number of records of the next largest customer.

Occasionally, the database reaches a state where when this particular customer tries to run the dashboard view, the application times out.

If I open up the view and re-save it, all is well again for a few days.

What gives?

Views are supposedly not pre-compiled, though I know that 2000 stores bits and pieces of query plans.

Any ideas on what causes this and what to do about it?

Saving Query Plan

Sep 13, 2005

I would like to save a query plan (estimated or actual)created in Query Analyzer -- paste it into a document,or simply print. It doesn't seem to be possible toselect and copy the Execution Plan window, and printingit creates microscopic gibberish which is a waste ofpaper. Is it possible to do this?Set showplan_text is of limited help for the SP I'mlooking at -- while analyzing the SP, it reads aheadand complains that a temp table created inside the SPdoesn't exist (yet) and exits. Using Ctrl-K to capturethe query plan allows the SP to complete, but saving theplan is the problem.Thanks,Jim Geissman

Odd Query Plan For View

Mar 28, 2006

I have a SQL 2000 table containing 2 million rows of Trade data. Hereare some of the columns:[TradeId] INT IDENTITY(1,1) -- PK, non-clustered[LoadDate] DATETIME -- clustered index[TradeDate] DATETIME -- non-clustered index[Symbol] VARCHAR(10)[Account] VARCHAR(10)[Position] INTetc..I have a view which performs a join against a security master table (togather more security data). The purpose of the view is to return allthe rows where [TradeDate] is within the last trading days.The query against the view takes over around 30 minutes. When I viewthe query plan, it is not using the index on the [TradeDate] column butis instead using the clustered index on the [LoadDate] column... Theodd thing is, the [LoadDate] column is not used anywhere in the view!For testing purposes, I decided to do a straight SELECT against thetable (minus the joins) and that one ALSO uses the clustered index scanagainst a column not referenced anywhere in the query.There is a reason why I have not posted my WHERE clause until now. Thereason is that I am doing what I think is a very inefficient clause:WHERE [TradeDate] >= fGetTradeDateFromThreeDaysAgo(GetDate())The function calculates the proper trade date based on the specifieddate (in this case, the current date). It is my understanding that thefunction will be called for all rows. (Which COULD explain theperformance issue...)However, this view has been around for ages and never before caused anysort of problems. The issue actually started the day after I had torecreate the table. (I had to recreate the table because some columnswhere added and others where renamed.)On a side note, if I replace the WHERE clause with a hard-coded date(as in 'WHERE [TradeDate] >= '20060324'), the query performs fine butSTILL uses the clustered index on the [LoadDate] column.

Puzzled By Query Plan

Jul 20, 2005

I'm hoping somebody can explain exactly what's going on here - I can'tfind it documented anywhere.Go to the Northwind database, and run the following SQL:create index IX_UnitPrice on [order details](unitprice)Now, turn on SHOWPLAN (either graphical or text, it doesn't matter),and run the following query:select * from [order details]where unitprice = 2Output:StmtText|--Index Seek(OBJECT: ([Northwind].[dbo].[OrderDetails].[IX_UnitPrice]), SEEK: ([OrderDetails].[UnitPrice]=Convert([@1])) ORDERED FORWARD)Now, alter the SARG slightly by making it a float:select unitprice from [order details]where unitprice = 2.000Output:StmtText|--Nested Loops(Inner Join, OUTER REFERENCES: ([Expr1003], [Expr1004],[Expr1005]))|--Compute Scalar(DEFINE: ([Expr1003]=Convert(Convert([@1]))-1.00,[Expr1004]=Convert(Convert([@1]))+1.00, [Expr1005]=If(Convert(Convert([@1]))-1.00=NULL) then 0 else 6|If(Convert(Convert([@1]))+1.00=NULL) then 0 else 10))| |--Constant Scan|--Index Seek(OBJECT: ([Northwind].[dbo].[OrderDetails].[IX_UnitPrice]), SEEK: ([Order Details].[UnitPrice] >[Expr1003] AND [Order Details].[UnitPrice] < [Expr1004]), WHERE:(Convert([Order Details].[UnitPrice])=Convert([@1])) ORDERED FORWARD)Right. I understand that in both cases the SARG datatype is differentfrom the column datatype (which is money), and that in the firstexample the SARG constant gets implicitly converted from int -> money(following the datatype hierarchy rules), and so the index can stillbe used.In the second example, the datatype hierarchy dictates that money islower than float, so the table column gets implicitly converted frommoney -> float, which strictly speaking disallows the use of the indexon that column.What I DON'T understand is what exactly all that gubbins about theexpressions (especially the definition of [Expr1005] is all about; howdoes that statement decide whether Expr1005 is going to be NULL, 6, or10?I'm soon going to be giving some worked tutorials on index selectionand use of Showplan to our developers, and being a bolshi lot they'rebound to want to know exactly what all that output means. I'd ratherbe able to tell them than to say I don't actually know!How about it someone?Thanks,Phil

Incorrect Query Plan

Nov 16, 2007

I was doing a demo last night, something that I've done hundreds of times already. Last night was the first time that it has failed to work. I was trying to show what the sys.dm_db_missing_index_* DMVs can provide.

AdventureWorks database

I'm running the following query:

select city from person.address where city like 'A%'

This is supposed to produce a table scan which in turn will obviously cause SQL Server to detect that an index could be beneficial. However, it does a clustered index scan (yes, I know, basically the same thing) instead and I see absolutely nothing appear in the DMVs. I pulled the data out into a dummy table that did not have a primary key either using the following:
select * into person.tmpaddress from person.address

I then execute the same query and get a table scan which is expected:

select city from person.address where city like 'A%'

However, it does not matter how much I execute that query or any other permutation of explicit query, absolutely nothing at all gets logged into the sys.dm_db_missing_index_* DMVs. I have also tried this same type of thing with several other tables in the AW database and can not find a single query which will cause anything to be logged to these DMVs. It seems that something is broken, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what is wrong. No weird settings, I'm running as sa, etc.

I can run queries like this in other databases and stuff gets immediately logged to the DMVs as expected. Any ideas?

Hi,

I am writing a client application that shows estimated queries plans and statistics. I know how to obtain estimated plans by using SQL Server Management Studio. But is it possible to obtain by using database functions?

I have found sys.dm_exec_query_plan, but it seems that this function can only be used for executed (or executing) queries...

Poorly Chosen Query Plan

Oct 12, 2000

I'm running the same query on two computers but getting a different query plan. On one of the servers, the query returns in 10 seconds, on the other server it takes over a minute. What the heck!

1. same hardware configuration on both computers
2. same user databases on both computers
3. same NT setup on both computers
4. same software installed on both computers

I can only imagine that MSSQL7 was setup differently and the query optimizer is making a stupid choice. I've compared numerous SQL server options and they are both the same.

1. sp_configure (same on both computers)
2. properties sheet on each server from enterprise manager (same on both computers)

any ideas???

Avoid Reusing Query Plan..

Hi,

I'm trying to test some queries in SQL analyser without reusing the query plan (already cached). I know that there is a way to avoid that but I don't remember right now. Another option would be to restart MS SQL service but I don't want to do that.
Any thoughts...?

Looking For Query Plan Determination Information

Jul 20, 2005

Hi,I was just helping a coworker optimize a query. He had two versions:one which used UNION for each value for which he was tallying resultsand another query which used GROUP BY. Here is an aproximation of whatthey were:Query #1:---------SELECT 12 AS [Row],ISNULL(SUM(CASE WHEN T.my_date BETWEEN @week_start_date ANDDATEADD(d, 1, @week_start_date) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END), 0) AS [Monday],ISNULL(SUM(CASE WHEN T.my_date BETWEEN DATEADD(d, 1,@week_start_date) AND DATEADD(d, 2, @week_start_date) THEN 1 ELSE 0END), 0) AS [Tuesday]FROM My_Table TINNER JOIN Another_Table T2 ON T2.col1 = T.col1WHERE T.my_date BETWEEN @week_start_date AND @week_end_dateAND T.col2 = 5UNIONSELECT 13 AS [Row],ISNULL(SUM(CASE WHEN T.my_date BETWEEN @week_start_date ANDDATEADD(d, 1, @week_start_date) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END), 0) AS [Monday],ISNULL(SUM(CASE WHEN T.my_date BETWEEN DATEADD(d, 1,@week_start_date) AND DATEADD(d, 2, @week_start_date) THEN 1 ELSE 0END), 0) AS [Tuesday]FROM My_Table TINNER JOIN Another_Table T2 ON T2.col1 = T.col1WHERE T.my_date BETWEEN @week_start_date AND @week_end_dateAND T.col2 = 6Query #2:---------SELECT R.row_num AS [Row],ISNULL(SUM(CASE WHEN T.my_date BETWEEN @week_start_date ANDDATEADD(d, 1, @week_start_date) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END), 0) AS [Monday],ISNULL(SUM(CASE WHEN T.my_date BETWEEN DATEADD(d, 1,@week_start_date) AND DATEADD(d, 2, @week_start_date) THEN 1 ELSE 0END), 0) AS [Tuesday]FROM My_Table TINNER JOIN Another_Table T2 ON T2.col1 = T.col1INNER JOIN Report_Rows R ON R.col2 = T.col2WHERE T.my_date BETWEEN @week_start_date AND @week_end_dateGROUP BY ALL R.row_numORDER BY R.row_numThe Report_Rows table in this case would have had two rows mapping row12 to a column value of 5 and row 13 to a column value of 6. Thesecond query was performing horribly until I noticed the ALL keywordin the GROUP BY, which I didn't think was necessary. When I removedthat it performed more like I expected it to perform.Before I had noticed that I was scouring over the query plans andcouldn't figure out why in one instance the query optimizer chose tojoin My_Table and Another_Table, yet when the ALL keyword was there itchose to return all of the records from Another_Table (a rather largetable) and join it to the Report_Rows table before then joining toMy_Table, which had the date criteria in the WHERE clause.So, if you've read this far without giving up...1. Why would the ALL keyword cause this? I understand thefunctionality of ALL, but I still don't see why that caused thereordering of the joins.2. (more importantly) Are there any good resources that you know ofthat explain how the query optimizer choices its query paths? Do the"Inside SQL Server" books go into that much detail? Any good onlineresources?Thanks!-Tom.

Execution Plan In Query Analyzer

Jan 31, 2008

This is probably a very stupid question. I have been out of the SQL Server arena for awhile and am now getting re acclimated. It was my understanding that using execution plan in query analyzer does not really execute the query against the query's database tables. Is this right? Tom.

Query Plan Utilization Vs CPU Time...

Aug 29, 2007

I was tuning a query testing out SARG with these two queries:

select col1 from table1 (nolock) where col1 like '#,%ABC%' or col1 like 'BC,%ABC%'
select col1 from table1 (nolock) where col1 like '%ABC%'

I flushed out the cache, added an index to col1, then ran those two together. Provided below are the actual query plan and stat time:

Query 1: Query cost (relative to the batch): 0%
select col1 from table1 (nolock) where col1 like '#,%ABC%' or col1 like 'BC,%ABC%'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT Index Seek
Cost:0% <------- [DB1].[dbo].[table1].[Idx..]

Cost: 100%

Query 2: Query cost (relative to the batch): 100%
select col1 from table1 (nolock) where col1 like '%ABC%'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT Index Scan
Cost:0% <------- [DB1].[dbo].[table1].[Idx..]

Cost: 100%

------------------------------------------------STAT TIME-----------------------------------------------------------
SQL Server parse and compile time:
CPU time = 0 ms, elapsed time = 1 ms.

SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 0 ms, elapsed time = 1 ms.
SQL Server parse and compile time:
CPU time = 0 ms, elapsed time = 7 ms.

(3 row(s) affected)
Table 'table1'. Scan count 2, logical reads 2932, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 18, lob logical reads 0, lob physical reads 0, lob read-ahead reads 0.

(1 row(s) affected)

SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 938 ms, elapsed time = 943 ms.

(3 row(s) affected)
Table 'table1'. Scan count 1, logical reads 2927, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0, lob logical reads 0, lob physical reads 0, lob read-ahead reads 0.

(1 row(s) affected)

SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 515 ms, elapsed time = 505 ms.
SQL Server parse and compile time:
CPU time = 0 ms, elapsed time = 1 ms.

SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 0 ms, elapsed time = 1 ms.

------------------------------------------------STAT TIME-----------------------------------------------------------

As expected, SARGable Query 1 did a nonclustered index seek and nonSARGable Query 2 did an index scan instead. According to the query plan, Query 1 consumed 0% relative to the batch whereas Query 2 is 100%. When I checked the CPU time, I was a bit confused because Query 1 showed CPU time of 938ms whereas Query 2 showed 515ms. I triple checked and every time I got similar results. I am sure I'm missing something, could someone please tell me what I'm missing? Thanks a bunch!

Query Plan In SQL Server 2005 SP2

Aug 14, 2007

Hello,

The query included at the end of this post seems to use the 'wrong' index when executing and takes 2+ minutes to run. When I provide an index hint, it runs in under 1 second. This happens in both the Production and Development environments; both servers run SQL Server 2005 SP2.

When I run both the queries together in Query Analyzer (or SSMS), the Query Cost (relative to the batch) value for the query with the index hint = 83.24%.

Profiler stats for Original Query:

Duration = 130484 ms
CPU = 111141 ms
Reads = 85470

Profiler stats for Index Hint Query:

Duration = 64 ms
CPU = 687 ms

Statistics are updated every night (w/Fullscan)
Indexes are rebuilt/defragmented daily based on fragmentation levels.

What am I missing here/how do I fix this performance issue?
Doesn't Profiler take into account the "Subtree Cost" for the Index Seek (which Query Analyzer & SSMS consider to be so expensive)? What Events/Columns do I need to include in the Profiler trace to see this statistic when the query is executing?

Thanks much,
Smitha

Query Plan SQL Server 2008

Apr 30, 2008

I have a person table with 1 billion rows on it, partitioned equally at 10 million rows per partition. The primary key constraint is a composite of an identity column and ssn( char(11) ) with the partitioning column built on the SSN.

This is built on my home grown workstation:

Microsoft 2008 Server 64 bit, Microsoft SQL server 2008 64 bit, Intel 2.66 quad core, 8 gb ram, Os/ raid 1, data on 6 drives hardware/software raid 50, transaction logs on 4 drive raid 10, all drives sata II/ 3gb burst.

I have updated statistics on the table and I have 2 queries that give clustered index seek , one never comes back before I get impatient, the other comes back instantly, and the showplan looks the same for both queries.

SELECT *

FROM Person

WHERE PersonKey > -1 and SSN = '219-09-3987'

AND

SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT *

FROM Person

WHERE PersonKey > -1 and SSN = '219-09-3987'

Incidentally the query with the top 100 percent is the one that returns instantly.

I am puzzled

1) Why the estimated plan looks the same

2) Why a top 100 Percent query is faster than one without it

View Query Execution Plan

Sep 15, 2007

Hi,

I am developing an application (VB) that should present a query estimated execution plan.

Using the SQL Server Management Studio, I should execute the following commands to see the query's estimated execution plan:

SET SHOWPLAN_XML ON

go

MyQuery
go

SET SHOWPLAN_XML OFF

go

The query is not executed. The result is the query execution plan.

In my application, I call Connection.Execute to execute the 'SET SHOWPLAN_XML ON'. Then, I use a Resultset submit the query. The query is executed and the execution plan is not returned.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Query Optimizer/Wrong Execution Plan

Jul 6, 2001

I have SQL 7.0 SP2 on NT 4.0 SP5. My database is 180GIG. 23 Tables. It has been up and running for 2 years without any problems. All of a sudden my queries have started taking a long time to run. The optimizer has decided that table scans are better than indexes. If I use query hints they work just fine, but I can't modify all of our code to make these changes.

This is happening on all tables. Records counts are the in the same range they have always been.

Statistics and indexes are all fine and current. Have dropped and rebuilt both.

Has anybody else seen this behavior.
