Is it possible to optimize this SQL to get rid of 2 highlighted subqueries?

  • Is it possible to optimize this statement to get rid of the case named [aging]?

    specifically, the two highlighted statements that cause 90% of all waits in the entire select statement.

    4 attachments: entire SP, the CULPRIT SQL, and the full Stored Proc where it is called +screenshot that shows fully confirmed problem statements that cause 90 % of all waits here.  That subquery is executed 300K times (number of resultset rows). both tables are over 100 000 000 rows and 300 columns.

    THANK YOU!

  • Where is the query plan?

     

  • add .sqlplan extension..

    Likes to play Chess

  • how can i add it here?

    Likes to play Chess

  • rename it to .txt

    and please put the full original code so we can look at it.

    and get rid of those "with (nolock)" and distinct when using a group by

  • you are hitting application.dbo.claims_log_v2 alot in this query.   Looks like everything is using a join on claim_number.  Can you put that hit into a cte, then join to it?  Something like below.  There was on DDL or sample data, so it might not compile and there might be typos, but you get the jist
