I had a rare and wonderful opportunity, today. Luis is in town and I finally got to meet him and have lunch with both him and Ed Wagner. What a treat and I get to scratch another name off my bucket list.It was my pleasure to meet both of you. I hope to start scratching names off my bucket list now that I'll be traveling on this side of the border. 😀
There's plenty of good bbq and local beer here in Chicago this time of the year. Just sayin'.
Chicago isn't that far away for us. I'll keep that in mind when shopping for SQL Saturdays.

And for back to back posts to the thread. I really can't stand it when an OP says something like:
Please help me fix this poorly performing query, but without any code changes.
So how am I supposed to help? Maybe with some indexing tips, but, in my opinion, that's a code change.

Improve performance without a code change? That's a good one. I typically find that most performance problems I encounter are due to design decisions and poor code. If you can't change the code, that doesn't leave much room for improvement.

Yeah, they just want the syntax for the "Run Faster" switch that we all keep hidden from them.

Silly me...I didn't even think of that. No code change + faster performance = requirements met. :hehe:

Sometimes, improving the indexing is the only option available. Supporting a product where most of the code is embedded in the code and requires approval to make changes, then needs to go through extensive testing and approval processes, you do what you can where you can.

Wow that person is way too snarky to the people who are trying to help him. It doesn't seem like any amount of indexing is going to help a flawed implementation. How can indexing fix the problem? It isn't a problem of data retrieval being too slow. It is a problem of pushing all the data over the network when only 1 row is needed. I also don't understand why changing a single query to execute a proc on another server requires "thousands" of stored proc changes. If that is true, which I highly doubt, then they need a complete system rewrite because everything is far too tightly coupled to be successful anyway.

Ah.... THAT one!
It's a little weird. When I started reading that, I thought the troublesome code was in a single proc. Now the OP is saying it's in thousands of places.
I'd like to see someone get to the bottom of the Ops problem there. Not sure the OP totally understands it but looks like a couple of people might have gotten under his skin. I'm thinking that there's a misunderstanding there and, until the misunderstanding is cleared up, it might be better to just back off. Trapped animal syndrome starting on that thread.
