Why The Function And Batch With Same Sql Statement Have Different Performance?
Jan 3, 2008
hi all,
I have a function and batch witch consisted of same sql statement, and they will get the same result. but time they take is different, and produce a little different query plans, another significant difference is the estimated numbers. the function is always slower than the batch.
does anyone know why same sql would produce different query plans performance? how do i can to let the function as fast as the batch?
thanks!

I built an SSIS package to pull a large amount data (over 4 million records) from our legacy system into a SQL server for analysis. As it stands the package takes somethign like 30+ hours to run. I would really like to trim down the time it is taking. The process runs monthly.
We're connecting to a cache database via an ODBC connection and dumping to an OLEDB connection to the SQL server. Is there something I can change in the rows per batch, maximum commit size to improve performance. It looks like the ODBC connection returns chunks of about 3000 rows at a time.
Is anyone familiar with cache that might know where I can get the best performing ODBC driver from?
What about the table that I'm dumping the data to? I assume no (or very few) indexes is the way to go for speed of dropping the data into the table.
I don't feel that 30 hours is an acceptable amount of time for this process to run. Am I off base here?
Any tips would be appreciated.

I have written the following code:
Â
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @RowCount int; SET @RowCount = 0;
Begin Try
Begin Transaction
--------------------------------------------------------
-----Table Name: AlertsStaticRecord_Archive
-----Column Name: AlertID
--------------------------------------------------------
ALTER TABLE Â [AlertsStaticRecord_Archive] Â ALTER COLUMN [AlertID] int NOT NULL;
[Code] .....
But, when I execute these batch, I am getting error:
Msg 8111, Level 16, State 1, Line 11
Cannot define PRIMARY KEY constraint on nullable column in table 'AlertsStaticRecord_Archive'.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 11
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Because, the first ALTER statement is not getting executed.

Is there a way to create a Batch file that will run an Update Statement and schedule it to run?I've used bcp to extract data to a txt file before, but i'm not sure if an Update can be performed.I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition so i don't have Server Agent available.

Just Like these:
-- batch start
Select * from someTable --maybe a query which need much res(I/O,cpu,memory)
/*
can I do something here to free res used by prior statement?
*/
select * from someOtherTable
--batch end
The Sqls above are written in a procedure to automating test for some select querys.

can anyone explain to me why the code excerpt 1 performs 60 reads on my DB, and code excerpt 2 performs 140000 ?
I know that specifically the statements are doing different things but they are both inserting into tables based on input parameters.
All relevant fields are indexed so I wouldn't have thought this was the issue?
Does the number of joins really make such a difference to performance?
code excerpt 1 (60 reads)
INSERT INTO @table_var
SELECT dbo.Organisation.OrganisationName,
dbo.Organisation.DepartmentName,
dbo.Address.BuildingNumber,
dbo.BuildingName.BuildingName,
dbo.SubBuildingName.SubBuildingName,
Thoroughfare_1.ThoroughfareName AS DependentThoroughfareName,
ThoroughfareDescriptor_1.ThoroughfareDescriptor AS DependentThoroughfareDescriptor,
dbo.Thoroughfare.ThoroughfareName,
dbo.ThoroughfareDescriptor.ThoroughfareDescriptor,
dbo.Locality.DoubleDependentLocality,
dbo.Locality.DependentLocality,
dbo.Locality.PostTown,
dbo.Address.Outcode,
dbo.Address.Incode,
dbo.Address.ConcatenationIndicator
FROM dbo.Address INNER JOIN
dbo.BuildingName ON dbo.Address.BuildingNameKey = dbo.BuildingName.BuildingNameKey INNER JOIN
dbo.Locality ON dbo.Address.LocalityKey = dbo.Locality.LocalityKey INNER JOIN
dbo.Organisation ON dbo.Address.OrganisationKey = dbo.Organisation.OrganisationKey AND
dbo.Address.PostcodeType = dbo.Organisation.PostcodeType INNER JOIN
dbo.SubBuildingName ON dbo.Address.SubBuildingNameKey = dbo.SubBuildingName.SubBuildingNameKey INNER JOIN

dbo.Thoroughfare Thoroughfare_1 ON dbo.Address.DependentThoroughfareKey = Thoroughfare_1.ThoroughfareKey INNER JOIN
dbo.ThoroughfareDescriptor ThoroughfareDescriptor_1 ON
dbo.Address.DependentThoroughfareDescriptorKey = ThoroughfareDescriptor_1.ThoroughfareDescriptorKey
WHERE (dbo.Address.AddressKey = @addresskey) AND
(dbo.Address.OrganisationKey = @organisationkey) AND
(dbo.Address.PostcodeType = @postcodetype)
code excerpt 2:

I need to know what is the best performance for needing to do calculations for a particular column. I want to do something like:
Select IID
, ItemNo
, StdRun
, ActRun
, dbo.fnCalc(OutCount)
From myTable
The function is basically a set of Case Statements and various calculations dependant upon the Case.
Is this the best (performance wise) way to do it or should I dump the needed info in a Temp Table and do the calcs on it and then tie the select statement to the table.
I've seen both approaches done, but they both seem to be a different way of getting to the same conclusion. I'm just wondering which puts the lightest load on the server.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi,
I've tried the following query in SQL SERVER 2005, SQL Express and MACCESS.
select * from Table1 where drid in (SELECT DrID FROM Table2 WHERE (substring(PostalCode,1,3) IN ('B0E','B1P','B2H','B2Y','B3A','B3M','B4A','B4H','E1A','E1C','E1N','G0A', …)) and (substring(Telephone,1,3) IN ('204','250','306','403','416','418','450','506','514','519','604','613','705','780','807','819','902','905')))
The query is using two table. The first one Table1 is a table with user info. The second table Table2 has the info concerning a survey.
The Table1 containt approx. 6000 row and Table2 containt only 210 rows
The table structure from the different environment(MACCESS, SQL SERVER 2005, Sql Server Express 2005) are the same. The Table1 containt the field "PostalCode" and "Telephone".
When I execute this query on MACCESS and in SQL Server 2005 the result are approximately the same(Less than half second). But there a performance issue in Sql Express 2005. The query take an execution time between 7 and 9 secondes.
When I add a condition using a field from tblResponsePQ2Part1 ex: QA=1
like in the following query :
select * from Table1 where drid in (SELECT DrID FROM Table2
WHERE (QA = 1 substring(PostalCode,1,3) IN ('B0E','B1P','B2H','B2Y','B3A','B3M','B4A','B4H','E1A','E1C','E1N','G0A', …)) and (substring(Telephone,1,3) IN ('204','250','306','403','416','418','450','506','514','519','604','613','705','780','807','819','902','905')))
the query take an execution time of ~15 secondes!!!!
This issue only happen in Sql Server Express, on the others cases(mean MSAccess, Sql Server) the execution time is less than half second.
It’s weird because, Sql Express 2005 is supposed to be more performant
than MACCESS, and have the same performance than Sql Server Professional Edition. Please Help Me!!!!
Anyone have an idea why?

What is better for performance, using a user defined function or a sub query to perform an aggregate calculation in a select statement. for eg would it be best to call a user defined function which performs the below calculation of the sub query shown. I'm speaking purely from a performance point of view.
SELECT o.ordersid,
o.orders,
(SELECT SUM(i.total) FROM items AS i WHERE i.ordersid = o.ordersid) AS [total]

I am using SQL2005 EE with SP1. The server OS is windows 2K3 sp2
I have a table-valued function (E.g. findAllCustomer(Name varchar(100), gender varchar(1)) to join some tables and find out the result set base the the input parameters.
I have created indexes for the related joinning tables.
I would like to check the performance of a table-valued function and optimize the indexing columns by the execution plan.
I found the graphic explanation only show 1 icon to represent the function performance. I cannot find any further detail of the function. (E.g. using which index in joinning)
If I change the function to stored procedure, I can know whether the T-SQL is using index seek or table scan. I also found the stored procedure version subtree cost is much grether that the table-valued function
I would like to know any configureation in management studio can give more inform for the function performance?
Thanks

When I am executing a query that uses a mathematical function on values from 2 tables the query takes much longer than the same query that uses values from 1 table, even though the join remains the same.
Why is this happening?
Is there a way to bypass this problem?
Long query ( values from 2 tables ) :
SELECT

Hi,
I am trying to write a table-valued function in SQL Server 2005 (SP1) to return all active directory groups a user belongs too, using managed code (VB.NET).
Testing the code with a simple winform I get the list of groups in about 0.4 seconds. However the table-valued function takes upwards of 17 seconds to run! Is this normal for managed code in SQL Server?

Select @var1, @var2, etc from
table1, table2 where
table1.id = table2.id

Hi,I have an UPDATE statement which runs very slow (about 1-2 minutes) inWeb as well as in Query Analyzer. Very plain UPDATE statement; usesindexes, etc. I though the reason might be the table being unorganizedbecause of the row expansions due to updating an existing column valuewith a larger value. Therefore, I ran a maintanenance plan whichreorganizes data and rebuilds indexes. But, it seems that there is noimprovement.Any thought or advise will be greatly appreciated.Sincerely,Pelin Bali.

I've just inherited a system and have some concerns about the speed ofconnections to a remote server (SQL2000). If I do a simple selectstatement on the table below, it takes 14 minutes to retrive 6 millionrows across a 2Mb line. Obviously it's a reasonable amount of data toretrieve, but I would have thought this would be quicker if I'm honest.Run locally, this is 50 seconds.My thoughts are that there may be some issues with our connection (weget general network errors sporadically, which are being looked at),but wanted some thoughts if the performance is acceptable for what itis doing with what is available. I don't think there is a SQL issue,but want to check if this sounds about right.It's early days, so I'm after a general impression of the speed ofretrieval for the amount of data on the available bandwidth. Assuming abest performance scenario, what is the minimum time it should take as abest guess ?ThanksRyanCREATE TABLE [FIELD_VALUES] ([DEALER_DATA_ID] [int] NOT NULL ,[FIELD_CODE] [varchar] (10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOTNULL ,[FIELD_VALUE] [numeric](15, 5) NULL ,[CHANGED_TYPE] [int] NULL ,CONSTRAINT [PK_FIELD_VALUES] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED([DEALER_DATA_ID],[FIELD_CODE]) WITH FILLFACTOR = 90 ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]GO

I need to figure out the correct update statement syntax for the following integration.
I have a "Performance Table" which i insert weekly performance numbers into for each store. The table is constructed w/ columns such as Store, Weekenddate, Sales, Refunds, #ofPatients
In a "Averages Table" i have every weekenddate for each store populated. So 52 Weeks for 10 stores = 520 Rows of Store numbers & WeekendDates.
What i would like to do is run a loop or update statement which would update the store average for each weekendate based on the last 13 weeks.
This is my query
update performancestore_avgs set SalesAvg =
(select sum(SalesHit)/Count(Store) from performance_store where performance_store.weekenddate >= performancestore_avgs.weekenddate-84 and performancestore_Avgs.store = performance_store.store)
The update statement runs but the averages are completely wrong.

In MS Access, I could write a function in a module, then just call that function as part of the SQL statement. For example, "SELECT RemoveDashes([SS_No]) AS SSN FROM Employee" with "RemoveDashes" being the name of the function.
I'm trying to do the same with an asp.net page and sql server. I have a custom function in the code behind that I call in the SQL statement, but I get the error, "not a recognized function name".
What do I need to do to make this work?

Hello,
I want to count how many occurences their is of each date that is returned by my sql query. I am not sure how to add the aggregate function code to my query I know how to just tell it to count all records, but not to tell it to count for each group of dates. For example I want it to count how many times 5/6/08 shows up in the returned results and so on. Here is my query I currently have. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
The enc_timestamp is my date field.
Select a.template_id, a.enc_timestamp, a.created_by, b.first_name, b.last_name, b.last_name +', ' + b.first_name as fullname

Hi,
I've got a complex UDF I need to call twice in a select statement, as shown below:
SELECT
dbo.myFunction(colName),
dbo.myFunction(colName) * 2
FROM
tableName
The problem is, the result of "dbo.myFunction(colName)" is not being cached, so the function is executed again for "dbo.myFunction(colName) * 2". This is having a significant impact on performance (doubling the amount of time it takes for the query to execute).
Is there any way I can write the query so that dbo.myFunction is only executed once?
Thanks for your help,
Andrew

Hi,
I have a Query some thing like this,
Select Table1.Code, 'field2' = CASE
WHEN 1 THEN (Select name From Table2 where Table2.Code=Table1.Code)
WHEN 2 THEN (Select name From Table3 where Table3.Code=Table1.Code)
WHEN 3 THEN (Select name From Table4 where Table4.Code=Table1.Code)
END
FROM Table1
Do I need to use Function instead of CASE for better performance ?
Regards
Mujeeb
