Uniqueidentifiers And Performance?
Nov 30, 2007
My first time using the Membership API for .net 2.0 and Sql Server.
The userId column is given a unique identifier instead of an autonumber. Like 011fb845-1269-49ca-b5b0-c01efdab0cff
So say I want to see how many goals they have logged. I could do a Select * From pgGoals where UserId = "011fb845-1269-49ca-b5b0-c01efdab0cff" ?
Should I keep propagating this unique id? for example the goal table has 3 columns, UserId, GoalName, GoalCatId
When I set a new goal for that user I populate the UserId column in the database table with the value 011fb845-1269-49ca-b5b0-c01efdab0cff ??
Will this be hard on the database as opposed to an integer id of say 23 ?

We're trying to set a new standard at my office, of using GUIDs as database ID fields - all new tables in all databases will have a GUID as the ID field, using the UniqueIdentifier data type.
The problem that we are running into, is that different applications interpret the UniqueIdentifier data type differently - ADO 2.x interprets it with the opening and closing { } braces. ADO.NET does not include the { and } in the GUID structure, SQL Server Query Analyzer does not include the { } braces, and SQL Server Enterprise Manage does include the { }
so we end up with results like this:
ADO 2.x: {012345678-abcd-ef01-2345-6789abcd}
ADO.NET: 012345678-abcd-ef01-2345-6789abcd
Query Analyzer: 012345678-abcd-ef01-2345-6789abcd
Enterprise Manager: {012345678-abcd-ef01-2345-6789abcd}
The problem with this is in two parts:
1) VB6 does not have a GUID structure or data type, so we are treating GUIDs as strings... but VB6 doesn't recognize "{012345678-abcd-ef01-2345-6789abcd}" and "012345678-abcd-ef01-2345-6789abcd" as the same string
2) when sending a URL link through an email, the { } braces break the link - in all email applications that we have tested. This include Groupwise 6, Groupwise 6.5, IPSwitch Web IMail, Outlook 2000, and Outlook Express (IE 6).
We're becoming very frustrated with the problems at hand, and need to know how others have worked around these problems. Please respond with any kind of advice or any real life situations where you have encountered this and found a solution, etc.
Thanks.

Hi
I have some report parameters defined whereof two are uniqueidentifiers:
ElementName = 'ALL'
TemplateScorecardID = '85DC707D-3C00-46CB-A7FE-3CF6E7EE71CC'
CompanyScorecardID = 'D65BA811-5EAD-4A29-9C9A-D4F9A1B4F54D'
Period = 1
Now, I have a dataset which is calling a stored procedure that accepts two uniqueidentifiers:
===================================================================
Set fmtonly Off
EXEC procTemplateScorecardMeasureElementOutput
@ElementName,
CONVERT(uniqueidentifier,@TemplateScorecardID),
CONVERT(uniqueidentifier,@CompanyScorecardID),
@Period
===================================================================
When I try to run the report I receive the following error message:
An error occurred during local report processing
An error has occurred during report processing
Query execution failed for data set 'my dataset'
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'CONVERT',
===================================================================
The question: How can I use report parameters to hold a default uniqueidentifier and then use that in the dataset query?
I have tried using it without the convert function but then the following error is raised.
An error occurred during local report processing
An error has occurred during report processing
Query execution failed for data set 'my dataset'
Error converting data type nvarchar to uniqueidentifier.

I need gurus input on the pros and cons of Seeded(int) Identity colums vs. UniqueIdentifier(GUIDs) columns for my db design.
As I understand it, merging the data of 2 independent db's both using IDENTITY columns would be very hairy because of the possibility of overlap. GUIDs are much more likely to be unique across different servers.
What I'd like to hear from others are the other pros and cons of the situation. I of course understand the performance hit suffered at the hands of the GUID.
Thanks for your help!

Rather than the real code, here's a sample we came up with.
Here's the C# Code:
public class sptest : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label Label1;
private DataSet dtsData;
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Put user code to initialize the page here
string strSP = "sp_testOutput";
SqlParameter[] Params = new SqlParameter[2];
Params[0] = new SqlParameter("@Input", "Pudding");
Params[1] = new SqlParameter("@Error_Text", "");
Params[1].Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
try
{
this.dtsData = SqlHelper.ExecuteDataset(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["SIM_DSN"], CommandType.StoredProcedure, strSP, Params);
Label1.Text = Params[0].Value.ToString() + "--Returned Val is" + Params[1].Value.ToString();
}
//catch (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException ex)
catch (Exception ex)
{
Label1.Text = ex.ToString();
}
}
Here is the stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE [user1122500].[sp_testOutput](@Input nvarchar(76),@Error_Text nvarchar(10) OUTPUT)AS
SET @Error_Text = 'Test'GO
When I run this, it prints up the input variable, but not the output variable.

1. Use mssql server agent service to take the schedule
2. Use a .NET windows service with timers to call SqlClientConnection
above, which way would be faster and get a better performance?

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 ***

We have the same application installed on a few different environments with similar servers and similar hardward. The only difference is the versions of SQL and the colations.
Is SQL 2005 a lot faster that SQL 2000? Could colation type make a big effect on performance?

We used a stored proc to pull totals from a database. Everything was fine until the table grew and started to time out. So we created a temp table to populate with a range of data and then pull the totals from there. Everything was fine until the table grew and started to time out. Any suggestion?

What's my best bet in getting better performance out of one of my database servers? Currently we have 1 set of Raid5 disks partitioned into 2 drives. This houses everything (system, database, and logs) If that server has 2 slots left for drives I was thinking of putting 2 mirrored drives and getting the logs off the main database space? (Make sense?) This is a vendored application so working with new indexes etc. isn't something I should do wo/ the vendor's interaction. Will what I describe above help?
Thanks

We have SQL Server running on a dual processor Pentium 500mhz server. Our database is hit by about 300 users. 200 of those users are doing constant searches though a client table of about 250,000 records, which in turn is linked to a history table containing over 5,000,000 records. This is only the tip of the iceberg, we have many triggers, procedures, updates, etc. going in the background. The database has over 500 tables.
Keep in mind, these searches that are taking place can involve all kinds of fields: phone number, company name, fax number, first name, last name, status, wildcard searches, etc. So as you can imagine, the database is being hit with all kinds of funky requests to find records. I will be the first to admit that our developers (vendor) are not the best code writers, and we have a tough time getting them to optimize something they do not even understand themselves.
As I speak, our processor utilization is maxing out between 95 to 100 percent. I've done a lot of performance tuning and all of the problems lie in the searching. We've built, tested, rebuilt, re-tested each and every index. I even used the Profiler to filter what I could. It has improved, but our database is growing at a rate of 10 megs a day (already close to 3 gigs, not that huge). I think I've optimized my indexes as best as I can considering all the fields and possibilities available to users to search for records.
For a database that requires all of these different search criteria, what would be a more optimal server? We are looking to purchase something ASAP. I could really use help from someone in a similar situation. It seems odd, in mind, that a company of 300 people would need to rely on a quad server (four processor capability.).
Thanks. JT

My company has aution web site, it is written in Java and all sql statements generated dynamically. No stored procedures used. If 30 users uses this site it is OK but if around 300 users uses then the site becomes very slow(almost dead) and developers saying that database is the bottle neck. Please help me in this problem how can I check and overcome this problem.

I am running a SQL 7.0 server on a two processor machine. We are having some performance issues.
one of the processor is always above 90% utilization but the second is barely at 50%.
Will adding another processor help or are the processes locked to one processor.
The server is a dedicated sql server. nothing else is running on it.
Thanks for any info you can provide.

We have recently upgraded to SQL 7.0 on NT 4.0/sp6 box which has got 4 PIII 700 processors, 1GB RAM, and 70GB HDD on RAID 1 and RAID 5. We feel that the application performance is not great as expected in SS7. (The application was running in 6.5 smoothly and performance was good)
Is there any option needs to set to improve performance? Now, SS 7 using all the 4 processors and dynamically allocated memory, etc. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

I'm running MS SQL Server on a 1.4 GHz AMD Athlon Processor with 750 MB or RAM and ample disk space. I have a table with 14 columns; 2 datetime, 8 int and the rest are varchar of various sizes less than 13.
I run a java process on another machine that connects to the database and insert records. It takes about 6 minutes to insert 100,000 records.
I run the xp performance monitor and only about 25% of the SQL Server machine's cpu is being used. I run top on the Linux box running java and I see about the same results. Neither machine is kept busy processing. Why don't I get better performance? Could my local area network be that slow? How many inserts per minutes is good performance?
Thanks for your input.

Does anyone know the performance differences between returning data from SQL Server as XML vs. as a record set? We are about to dive into the For XML world full force, but we wanted to make sure that we are not heading for a performance nightmare.
Thanks for any insight on this. I'll try to look for white papers and do some testing in the meantime.

Get values from other function based on some business logic.
INSERT Into another table B

I have to insert/update values to table B, one by one row. So, it is taking more time.
Is there any way to collect the values into a temporary storage and Insert/update or Move the values to table B.

Hello,
I build a query in SQL-server 2000 but i'm not happy with the performance, it takes about 15 minutes to execute the query (4 min INSERT and 11 min UPDATE). The table tbl_total has 3 million records and an index on Contract and Item, the table contracts has 1 million records and a key on Contract and Item.
How can I speed up this query, is it for example possible to put an index on @table (internal table)?
Thanx in advance!
DECLARE @table TABLE (Contract nvarchar(15), Item nvarchar(12), Change_date datetime)
INSERT INTO @table
SELECT TOT.Contract, TOT.Item, MAX(TOT.Change_date)
FROM tbl_total TOT
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 'X' FROM contracts CONT
WHERE TOT.Contract = CONT.Contract
AND TOT.Item = CONT.Item)
GROUP BY TOT.Contract, TOT.Item
UPDATE contracts
SET contracts.Change_date = TT.Change_date
FROM contracts INNER JOIN @table TT On
contracts.Contract = TT.Contract AND
contracts.Item = TT.Item

I know there is a differnece if i use the wild cards % etc in the results but i wanted to find out with regards to the queries above?

This:SELECT MAX(TheDate) FROM MyTableor this:SELECT TOP 1 TheDate FROM MyTable ORDER BY TheDate DESCAs a follow up question to save me having to post, if I want a differentfield from the result set of a MAX query, how do I do it? ie. I want the"Condition" field of the record with the most recent date. I have beendoing it like this:SELECT TOP 1 Condition FROM MyTable ORDER BY TheDate DESCbut if MAX(TheDate) is quicker, I would like to SELECT TOP 1 Condition ....where TheDate is the max date...... Hope this makes sense.....Basically, I'm going to be performing this query nested inside another queryand I want the maximum performance possible (indexes are a differentquestion), which means trying to avoid table scans....
