Execution plan shows Number of executes 24

  • My Sql server version : Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2249 (Intel X86)

    If run the following sql statement with the Execution plan , it show no of executive : 24

    select tbl1.sys_key, tbl2.sys_key,tbl3.syskey from

    tbl1,tbl2,tbl3

    where tbl1.sys_key= tbl2.tbl1key

    and tbl2.sys_key=tbl3.tbl2key

    But if i run following statement, it shows number of executive: 1

    select tbl1.sys_key, tbl2.sys_key,tbl3.syskey from

    tbl1,tbl2,tbl3

    where tbl1.sys_key= tbl2.tbl1key

    and tbl2.sys_key=tbl3.tbl2key

    and tbl1.sys_key=100

    How i can reduce the number of executive of first query?

    Please advice

  • Those are two logically different queries. If I had to guess, I'd say the first returns 24 rows and has a nested loop join (so the inner table gets 'executed' 24 times) while the second query returns one row

    Why is the execute count (which is just a measure of how many times an operator in the query runs) a problem? Is this query slow?

  • Why is the execute count (which is just a measure of how many times an operator in the query runs) a problem? Is this query slow?

    Yes the query is slow and it took around 10-12 second to complete the sql statement. This cause lock to another user process and it slow down the entire system.

    Following are the details of one object in execution plan.

    Physical Operation : Index scan

    Logical operation : index scan

    Row count : 1,104,299

    Est.Row size :33

    I/O cost : .932

    cpu cost : .0506

    Number of executes : 24

    cost : 1.905(4%)

    SubTree cost : 1.91

    estimate row count : 1,104,299

    In processor of SQL Server shows : 24.

    My processor is : intel xeon x 5650.(Hyper-Threading Technology)

    So can i change "max degree of parallelism" to improve the performance?

    Please advice

    Regards

    max degree of parallelism has nothign to do with this - as stated, your queries are very different

    try re-writing your queries with ANSI-92 syntax (it is after all 20 years old now 😉 )and you will see the difference

    select tbl1.sys_key, tbl2.sys_key,tbl3.syskey

    from

    tbl1

    inner join tbl2 on tbl1.sys_key= tbl2.tbl1key

    inner join tbl3 on tbl2.sys_key=tbl3.tbl2key

    select tbl1.sys_key, tbl2.sys_key,tbl3.syskey

    from

    tbl1

    inner join tbl2 on tbl1.sys_key= tbl2.tbl1key

    inner join tbl3 on tbl2.sys_key=tbl3.tbl2key

    WHERE

    tbl1.sys_key=100

    the second query uses only a single value on t1.sys.key, therefore of course it will be do less work

  • Hi,

    Please see the attached file,

    1. execution plan of slow running query in query in production server ( 36 second)

    2. execution plan of same query in query in test server ( 2 second only)

    3. table structure of the table (PTS), that cause the issue of slowness ( I think so)

    4.Index structure of PTS .

    Both test and production are same vision of OS and SQL server

    Test is a pC, still it is faster.

    Please advice, how i can improve the performance

    Regards

  • your query plans are for the query

    SELECT * FROM [PRINT_CASH_POINT] WHERE [CASH_POINT]=@1 AND [DAT1]>=@2 AND [DAT1]<=@3 ORDER BY [DOC_NO]

    is this some sort of view on the data?

    might i suggest that XML query plans are much more helpfull

  • Widen the index [dbo].[CBI].[inx_hc_rep1]. Add Cash_Point

    Widen the index [dbo].[TRANS_HEAD].[IX_trans_head_3]. Add Payment_Method, [trans_type] and episode_key

    That should help a bit to start. Post back the revised plan.

  • Hi,

    Thanks.. Performance improved by 6 second

    Before it was 36, now it took only 30 second

    Please see the attached file, new execution plan

    Regards

    Mathew

  • Should have done more than that.... Might not have time til tomorrow to look again, but I'm sure that others here will help in the meantime.
