Best Index Choices

  • Can you guys give a recommendation on what the best indexes would be for this query?  Please let me know if more info is needed.

    SELECT IMLSMST_SQL.ser_lot_no AS 'Ser/Lot'
    ,CASE
    WHEN IMLSMST_SQL.qty_on_hand - IMLSMST_SQL.qty_allocated - Isnull(Sum(wsPKGSL.Qty), 0) > 0
    THEN IMLSMST_SQL.qty_on_hand - IMLSMST_SQL.qty_allocated - Isnull(Sum(wsPKGSL.Qty), 0)
    ELSE 0
    END AS 'Qty Avail'
    FROM IMLSMST_SQL
    LEFT JOIN (
    wsPKG LEFT JOIN wsPKGLin ON wsPKG.PKG_ID = wsPKGLin.PKG_ID
    LEFT JOIN wsPKGSL ON wsPKGLin.PKGLin_ID = wsPKGSL.PKGLin_ID
    ) ON wsPKG.Loc = IMLSMST_SQL.loc
    AND wsPKG.Bin_no = IMLSMST_SQL.bin_no
    AND wsPKGLin.Item_no = IMLSMST_SQL.item_no
    AND wsPKGSL.ser_lot_no = IMLSMST_SQL.ser_lot_no
    AND Isnull(wsPKG.STATUS, '') NOT IN (
    'S'
    ,'C'
    )
    WHERE IMLSMST_SQL.loc = '@@LOC'
    AND IMLSMST_SQL.bin_no = '@@BIN'
    AND IMLSMST_SQL.item_no = '@@ITEMNO'
    GROUP BY IMLSMST_SQL.ser_lot_no
    ,IMLSMST_SQL.qty_on_hand
    ,IMLSMST_SQL.qty_allocated
  • For that particular query (experts correct me if I am wrong), but I see 4 indexes being needed - 1 per table.  The query looks broken to me on that LEFT JOIN, but maybe it is just a syntax I am not familiar with.

    Below is my recommendation for non-clustered indexes assuming none of these columns are in your clustered index:

    on table IMLSMST_SQL, on loc, bin_no, item_no, and ser_lot_no

    on table WSPKG, on PKG_ID, Loc, Bin_no, Status

    on table wsPKGLin, on PKG_ID, PKGLin_ID, Item_no

    on table wsPKGSL, on PKGLin_ID, ser_lot_no

    Basically, my approach here is anything that would be helpful when searching through the table (WHERE clauses and JOIN conditions), gets put into an index.

    Now, the above being said, your results may vary.  For example, if your table is tiny, adding an index may not offer any performance benefit.  Alternately, if indexes already exist that cover the query, adding more may not help and may hurt.  If you are looking for an optimal index for that query, having a filtered index (since all of the WHERE syntax is hard-coded values and not parameters) may be even better performance wise.  The fun part though - indexes that help that specific query may hurt other queries.  Adding Indexes may improve the performance of the query you posted at the cost of hurting all other queries on the system.

    I would first look at optimizing the query as much as possible before adding indexes myself.  Review the execution plan and see where optimizations can be made.  For example, changing your JOIN conditions for loc, bin_no, and Item_no to static values (like what you have in the WHERE clause) may help, or you may even be able to prune out some of the join conditions.

    But if you are looking to tune the query (likely since you are trying to add indexes), I would evaluate the query (via the execution plan) and see where the problems exist prior to adding any indexes AND I would see if there is any room to improve the query prior to adding indexes.  It may make more sense to use temp tables or table variables for your query or possibly even nested selects or cte's to filter some of the data prior to the JOINs.

    The above is all just my opinion on what you should do. 
    As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it.  Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
    I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.

  • I can't offer index recommendations without seeing the DDL for the tables, including all current index definitions.  The most critical index is the clustered index, so that should be determined first.

    However, one thing that you definitely need to do is to get rid of the ISNULL() in the query.  It's not needed because NULL will never be IN or NOT IN any list.  And it could prevent SQL's optimal use of any index(es) containing wsPKG.STATUS as a key:

    AND wsPKG.STATUS NOT IN ('S','C') /*instead of "Isnull(wsPKG.STATUS, '') NOT ..."*/

  • The query is obviously built by some automated tool and has to be fixed.

    unless there is some special logic which is not apparent from the first glance.

  • Hmm, interesting.  Lots of indexes there, so we'll need to do a full analysis, if you're willing.  Please run the attached query and post the results in some type of text file (i.e. not an image/picture).

    In general, since PKG_No is unique, you might get better overall performance by using that as the link between tables rather than the guid column.  But verifying that will take more analysis, and it might not be practical for you with your current data setup.

    Be sure to leave "@list_missing_indexes = 1" for the run used to post the results.  We'll need to consider what SQL has determined are missing index(es) when we redesign the indexes for these tables.

  • How many rows returned by

    SELECT IMLSMST_SQL.ser_lot_no
    FROM IMLSMST_SQL
    WHERE IMLSMST_SQL.loc = '@@LOC'
    AND IMLSMST_SQL.bin_no = '@@BIN'
    AND IMLSMST_SQL.item_no = '@@ITEMNO'

    ?

    Is column wsPKG.STATUS nullable?

  • I suggest creating the following indexes to support the query.  If you'd like to adjust other indexes on the tables also, just let me know.

    CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX ncx_Loc_Bin_no ON dbo.wsPKG ( Loc, Bin_no, PKG_No ) INCLUDE ( PKG_ID, Status ) WITH ( FILLFACTOR = 95 ) ON [PRIMARY];

    CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX ncx_Item_no ON dbo.wsPKGLin ( Item_no, ID ) INCLUDE ( PKG_ID, PKGLin_ID ) WITH ( FILLFACTOR = 95 ) ON [PRIMARY];

    CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX ncx_ser_lot_no ON dbo.wsPKGSL ( ser_lot_no, ID ) INCLUDE ( PKGLin_ID, Qty ) WITH ( FILLFACTOR = 95 ) ON [PRIMARY];

    There are already 4 indexes with the pair of columns item_no, loc at the beginning.

    If my query returns max count(*) not more than 10 then 3 of those indexes should be dropped, only the shortest one should remain, it will do the job all right.

    Why do you think I need to include ID in the wsPKGLin and wsPKGSL indexes if ID is already in the clustered index on those tables?

    The ID is included to make sure the key is unique.  Unique indexes process better in SQL Server, otherwise SQL is forced to add a "uniquifier" which greatly complicates processing.  All key columns from the clustered index are automatically included in every nonclustered index anyway, so adding ID adds zero overhead as well.

    I did not know that trick.  Learn something new every day.
