How to speedup the execution of a query in Sql Server?
|
|
|
|
|
In SSMS under tool the first entry is SQL Server Profiler - use that as your first step.

You need to present a bit more detail so that some suggestions can be given.
Generally, are you linking tables together ? How many? How many rows are in each table?
How many rows are being returned in your query?
With the SQL profiler you will be able to tell whether the server is scanning the table or seeking data via an index.
Your question is too vague to get a valuable answer.

Hi David Mujica,
Thanks for your reply,but I need just rough idea or tips.
|

My response was a tip, without more information we can't really be more specific. Statements like check you indexes (profiler helps) and check your syntax are going to be basically all we can do.
Tuning a DB and queries is almost an art so you need to give us some subject matter. What you have given us is like asking why your painting is rubbish!

After checking your keys and indexes, you could try to omit as much functions in the query as possible, limit the case-when switches and remove any unused tables and/or columns.
MSDN also has a few pages on the subject

Hi Eddy Vluggen,
It helps me a lot.

Hello there. I am trying to get data from 3 different tables based on simple join. One of the tables can have multiple values against one primary key. Here are the table designs
Table 1 - EmployeeDetails
EmployeeId INT, FirstName VARCHAR, SurName VARCHAR, SexId INT
Table 2 - EmployeeSex
SexId INT, Sex VARCHAR
Table 3 - EmployeeContacts
EmployeeId INT, Contact VARCHAR
I am using following query
SELECT ED.EmployeeId, ED.FirstName, ED.SurName, GROUP_CONCAT(EC.Contact)
FROM EmployeeDetails ED, EmployeeSex ES, EmployeeContacts EC
WHERE ED.SexId = ES.SexId AND ED.EmployeeId = EC.EmployeeId AND ED.EmployeeId = 'emp_password';
Now this query works fine if we have at least one contact number. But if there are not contacts, then this results in empty set. What is wrong with this query ? How can I improve so that it works in all scenarios (regardless of number of contacts in EmployeeContacts table). Thanks for any input.

Use joins, not a where condition
SELECT ED.EmployeeId, ED.FirstName, ED.SurName, GROUP_CONCAT(EC.Contact)
FROM EmployeeDetails ED
INNER JOIN EmployeeSex ES on ED.SexId = ES.SexId
LEFT JOIN EmployeeContacts EC on ED.EmployeeId = EC.EmployeeId
WHERE ED.EmployeeId = 'emp_password';
If there are instance where an employee does not have an assigned sex, change the INNER JOIN to a LEFT JOIN

Hi.
I have to choose between MySQL and PostgreSQL. I like use MS SQL, but it expensive for the customer.
Database have about 100 tables with max. 200 thousands rows.
Front application is .NET (winform) ,dataset or entity framework.
It's critical application, reliability is required.
Please advice me.

Sounds like Oracle or SQL Server are the only two choices to consider.
|
|
|
|

If it isn't too big, consider SQLServer Express.
You may need to get creative in access, but that can be done.
Don't forget to build some database maintenance, backup, etc.

Well, there's a lot of comparisons out there to read if you want to.
But the tl;dr is:
Performance and scalability -> MySql
Reliability, data integrity and standard compliance -> PostGreSQL.
While MySQL has gotten a lot better with the last versions it's still lacking a lot of functionality. And while it also can be (a lot) faster, it's only in certain scenarios.
If you do a lot of paging, PostGres is the one outperforming everyone else.
My personal choice would be PostGres, but mostly because it's more familiar as I have mostly used Oracle and SQLServer.

Hi,
I have below stored procedure..
it only works when I pass single value like "US" but not when passing multiple values like "AE", "BH", "US", "FR"
when passing multiple values I get this error:
Procedure execution failed
1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '")' at line 1
here is the stored procedure:
CREATE DEFINER=<code>root</code>@<code>127.0.0.1</code> PROCEDURE <code>sp_populate_memo_country_companies</code>(IN param_country varchar(255))
BEGIN
SELECT locations.location_id, companies.company_name, locations.location_name, first_payroll, last_payroll
FROM locations
JOIN country ON country.country_code_alpha2 = locations.country_code
JOIN companies ON companies.company_id = locations.company_id
LEFT JOIN payroll ON payroll.location_id = locations.location_id
WHERE locations.country_code IN (param_country) AND payroll_active = TRUE
GROUP BY locations.location_id
ORDER BY companies.company_name;
END
Kindly help...
Thanks,
Jassim[^]

Same answer as last week! You need to split the string into individual values.

it is indiviual values. For example, If I try:
WHERE IN("BH", "US", "FR")
it will work but when I try:
IN(param_country)
then pass "BH", "US", "FR" it won't work.

What is the exact content of param_country when you try to execute this procedure? The error message is clearly telling you that some part of it is not valid syntax for this version of MySQL.
|

It's northing to do with param_country because I am getting the problem when I run the stored procedure on MySQL Server console as well (without any C#)
For example, if I run:
CALL sp_populate_memo_country_companies("BH")
it works fine but when I run:
CALL sp_populate_memo_country_companies("BH", "US")
I get:
[SQL] CALL sp_populate_memo_country_companies("BH", "US")
[Err] 1318 - Incorrect number of arguments for PROCEDURE bluefile.sp_populate_memo_country_companies; expected 1, got 2

What part of that message do you find difficult to understand?

|

|

this part:
CREATE DEFINER=<code>root</code>@<code>127.0.0.1</code> PROCEDURE <code>sp_populate_memo_country_companies</code>(IN param_country varchar(255))
there is only argument which is param_country which I am passing but maybe in the wrong way..
I mean in my above case, how can I pass an IN parameter for:
WHERE country_code IN (param_country)

Just pack all the patterns for IN clause in one varchar/string value and pass this value as a single argument!

I tried:
CALL sp_populate_memo_country_companies("BH, US")
but returns no rows when BH alone returns 5 rows.

 Does this not tell you something, SQL treats the parameter as a single value and you get an error! You need to split the string into individual values.
You need a split function for MySQL below is the SQL Server version I use
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_Split]
(@List varchar(8000), @Delimiter char(1))
RETURNS @Results table
(Item varchar(8000),ID int Identity(1,1))
AS
begin
declare @IndexStart int
declare @IndexEnd int
declare @Length int
declare @Word varchar(8000)
set @IndexStart = 1
set @IndexEnd = 0
set @Length = len(@List)
If @Delimiter = '' Set @Delimiter = ','
Set @List = Replace(@List,char(9),'')
Set @List = Replace(@List,char(10),'')
Set @List = Replace(@List,char(13),'')
while @IndexStart <= @Length
begin
set @IndexEnd = charindex(@Delimiter, @List, @IndexStart)
If @Delimiter = char(32)
set @IndexEnd = charindex(Space(1), @List, @IndexStart)
if @IndexEnd = 0
set @IndexEnd = @Length + 1
set @Word = substring(@List, @IndexStart, @IndexEnd - @IndexStart)
set @IndexStart = @IndexEnd + 1
INSERT INTO @Results(Item)
SELECT @Word
end
return
end
Then you can use a join to filter the location table
DECLARE @StringParam VARCHAR(100)= 'AA,BB,CC'
SELECT * FROM dbo.fn_split(@StringParam,',')
SELECT * FROM Location L
INNER JOIN dbo.fn_split(@StringParam,',') S ON S.item = l.country_code
This is SQL Server code, you may need to change it for MySql
