    OH gods, it has a WHERE 1=1 clause too. ??

    This is likely built dynamically, so the 1=1 provides a basis for the query.

    But it's easy enough to clean up.ย  Just REPLACE(REPLACE(@sql, '1=1 AND ', ''), 'WHERE 1=1', '').ย  So if there are additional conditions, you remove the 1 = 1 and the following AND, otherwise you remove the WHERE 1 = 1.

    True, but two issues.

    1. No where and this errors out. I have [select .... where order by xxx ]
    2. This code is part of what's buried in plug ins or Project Nami, and we need an author to take a PR and update their code. Otherwise, all upgrades break.

    It is a good idea, and something that I hope we'll implement, but it's not as simple to change as you think

    I think the optimiser will evaluate WHERE 1=1 at compile time. So removing it would make absolutely no difference to the performance of the query.

  • This does change some parameterization stuff, but I think it prevents simple mode, which I'm not sure would be used here. Not sure, and haven't dug into this as other work is still ongoing.

    I don't see how you are getting SELECT ... WHERE ORDER BY xxx assuming that you are starting with SELECT ... WHERE 1=1 ORDER BY xxx, the first replace won't match, because there is no trailing AND, so it will leave you with the original string and the second will produce SELECT ... ORDER BY xxx, because the WHERE is included in the matching string 'WHERE 1=1'.

  • Ah, you're right, Drew. I was thinking this was a code replacement that would leave the WHERE, but that would work. However, it's also a PR to upstream modules, not something we want to change directly.

    Does the SSIS time go down if you use a column list instead of *?

  • Doesn't seem to make a difference. I'll have to try it in a proper testing environment

  • The normal Oracle drivers for SSIS are really slow. The worst part is that it seems to be by design. I had far better luck exporting to a flat file and getting data from there.

    Have you tried using the Attunity Connectors?

    Is this on an on-prem or in the "foggy" (cloud)

    ๐Ÿ˜Ž

     

  • Is on-premise. Tried the Attunity Connectors but can't find how to use expressions (SQL command from variable) for incremental updates.

  • I've found that using the latest Oracle drivers is much more efficient than the MS drivers, is that an option?

    ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    BTW: in a recent project, I experienced up to 10x difference between different drivers ๐Ÿ™
