Help me optimizing stored procedure

  • i have a Stored procedure which is consuming the most time on the server. i have find some solution for

    can i do any of these

    sql improvements, stagged data, web service caching

    this SP shows all the activeoffers that have in a store based on department

    Create Proc USP_Offersdep

    @Af AS BIT

    )

    AS

    BEGIN

    SET NOCOUNT ON;

    IF ISNULL(@AFonly, 0) = 0

    SELECT * FROM views(creted some view)

    SELECT od.* FROM

    tableA AS h

    INNER JOIN View AS od ON h.column1= od.column1 AND h.column2= od.column2

    AND h.couponend_date ts > GETDATE() AND h.coupon_ startdate = 5

    END

    in that table indexes are already ter on Column1 and Column2

    i have optimize it please suggest me

  • Please post table definitions, view definitions, index definitions and execution plan as per http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/SQLServerCentral/66909/

    But I would like to point out a common TSQL programming flaw I see:

    IF ISNULL(@AFonly, 0) = 0

    SELECT * FROM views(creted some view)

    SELECT od.* FROM

    tableA AS h

    INNER JOIN View AS od ON h.column1= od.column1 AND h.column2= od.column2

    AND h.couponend_date ts > GETDATE() AND h.coupon_ startdate = 5

    That really executes like this:

    IF ISNULL(@AFonly, 0) = 0

    BEGIN

    SELECT * FROM views(creted some view)

    END

    SELECT od.* FROM

    tableA AS h

    INNER JOIN View AS od ON h.column1= od.column1 AND h.column2= od.column2

    AND h.couponend_date ts > GETDATE() AND h.coupon_ startdate = 5

    Even if that is what you intended (it often isn't) ALWAYS EXPLICITLY USE BEGIN/END with IF/ELSE constructs:

    IF ISNULL(@AFonly, 0) = 0

    BEGIN

    SELECT * FROM views(creted some view)

    END

    SELECT od.* FROM

    tableA AS h

    INNER JOIN View AS od ON h.column1= od.column1 AND h.column2= od.column2

    AND h.couponend_date ts > GETDATE() AND h.coupon_ startdate = 5

    Or you may have meant this, which is VERY different:

    IF ISNULL(@AFonly, 0) = 0

    BEGIN

    SELECT * FROM views(creted some view)

    SELECT od.* FROM

    tableA AS h

    INNER JOIN View AS od ON h.column1= od.column1 AND h.column2= od.column2

    AND h.couponend_date ts > GETDATE() AND h.coupon_ startdate = 5

    END

    Doing this not only ensures YOU get the right code, but it keeps devs who may debug/refactor this in the future from screwing up too! 🙂

  • Even if that is what you intended (it often isn't) ALWAYS EXPLICITLY USE BEGIN/END with IF/ELSE constructs:

    ALWAYS is a bit strong. I'm not going to start replacing

    if object_id('tempdb..#tmp', 'U') is not null

    drop table #tmp

    with this

    if object_id('tempdb..#tmp', 'U') is not null

    begin

    drop table #tmp

    end

    in my code. SQL devs should know this stuff.

    If you know that the people who are going to be maintaining the code are not that proficient, then maybe. But nonetheless, the problems you mention should be sieved out during testing.

    If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.

  • ALWAYS is a bit strong.

    We will have to agree to disagree. I'm sticking with my statement.

    SQL devs should know this stuff.

    But they don't. Or they are in a hurry, or their coffee spilled and distracted them, etc. Build a box around them (and yourself) with a VERY simple construct (that can be auto-created with SQL Prompt et al).

    If you know that the people who are going to be maintaining the code are not that proficient, then maybe.

    You may have 100% rock-star TSQL types at your company right now. What about starting next week, or 6 months or 3 years from now??

    the problems you mention should be sieved out during testing.

    Sorry, but that one is actually laughable!! If I had a nickel for every client I have ever had in about 20 years of database consulting that actually did GOOD (if any, usually) database testing I would have ... $0.00. :blink:

  • We clearly operate in very different environments, as I stick by my comments too - glad that I gave you a laugh 🙂
