top cqu sql how to tune

  • there is a function in legacy code  view below and the ind query shows up as top sql.

    Any idea how to remove the function and replace it with adhoc sql.

    Individual t-sql

    SELECT @Type = coalesce(@Type + ', ', '') + type_desc from _dataDictionary_type

    where type_id IN (select type from _TYPE_MAPPING WITH (NOLOCK) where Id = @_id)

    -- this function is a part of a view and I want to remove it from the view

    CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[Stringmultitypes]

    (@id int)

    RETURNS VARCHAR(600)

    AS

    BEGIN

    DECLARE @Type varchar(500)

    SELECT @Type = coalesce(@Type + ', ', '') + type_desc from dataDictionary_type where type_id IN (select type from TYPE_MAPPING WITH (NOLOCK) where Id = @id)

    RETURN @Type

    END

  • Can you show the code where the function is used? That will allow people to understand the context in which they have to work. Otherwise, the answer is, pull the function code as is and make it a derived table to join against the existing query (which, I know, is vague, but there you go).

    You could keep the function, but change it to an inline TVF, like this

    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Stringmultitypes ( @id int )
    RETURNS table
    AS
    RETURN SELECT Types = CAST(STUFF((
    SELECT ', ' + type_desc
    FROM dataDictionary_type AS dt
    INNER JOIN TYPE_MAPPING AS tm WITH ( NOLOCK )
    ON dt.TYPE_ID = tm.TYPE
    WHERE tm.Id = @id
    GROUP BY type_desc
    FOR XML PATH( '' )
    ), 1, 2, ''
    ) AS varchar(600));
    GO

    Then you need to change the way that you call the function.  Show us how you currently call it, and we can show you how to make the change.

  • Thank you, The code of the view which uses this function is below:

    CREATE VIEW [dbo].

      AS

      SELECT DISTINCT

      dbo.protocol_id,

      --dbo.sitecode,

      cs.sitecode,

      dbo.PI_name as pi,

      'SW' + RIGHT('00000000' + CAST(dbo._id AS VARCHAR(8)), 8) AS _id,

      dbo.subject,

      CASE

      WHEN state = 0 THEN 'Submit'

      WHEN state = 1 THEN 'Entry'

      WHEN state = 2 THEN 'QC'

      WHEN state = 3 THEN 'Complet'

      WHEN state = 4 THEN 'Cancel'

      END AS state,

      date_state

      , date_created,

      dbo.ReasonToCreate,

      CASE

      WHEN type = 0 THEN 'New'

      WHEN type = 1 THEN 'Demographic'

      WHEN type = 2 THEN 'Subject Status'

      WHEN type = 3 THEN 'Paper Entry'

      WHEN type = 4 THEN 'Invalidation'

      WHEN type = 5 THEN 'Visit Data'

      WHEN type = 6 THEN 'Technical Revision'

      WHEN type = 7 THEN 'Recon'

      WHEN type = 8 THEN 'Subject-Entered Data'

      WHEN type = 9 THEN 'Site-Entered Data'

      END AS type,

      CASE WHEN dbo.billable = 1 THEN 'Yes'

      ELSE 'No'

      END AS billable,

      dbo._id as i_id,

      dbo.login_id,

      dbo.study_id,

      dbo.site_id,

      dbo.author_login_id,

      dbo.author_name as author,

      CASE

      WHEN dbo.study_protocol IS NULL THEN 'Unspecified Protocol'

      WHEN dbo.study_protocol = 'NULL' THEN 'Unspecified Protocol'

      WHEN dbo.study_protocol = '' THEN 'Unspecified Protocol'

      ELSE dbo.study_protocol

      END AS study_protocol,

      CASE

      WHEN dbo.isQueryActive = 1 THEN 'Yes'

      ELSE 'No'

      END AS isQueryActive,

      CASE

      WHEN dbo.specialCase = 1 THEN 'Yes'

      ELSE 'No'

      END AS SpecialCase,

      CASE

      WHEN dbo.onHold = 1 THEN 'Yes'

      ELSE 'No'

      END AS onHold,

      dbo.[Stringmultitypes](id) as multiType

      FROM dbo., dbo.ca_site cs, ca_dataDictionary_Countries, ca_address, ca_site_address WITH (NOLOCK)

      where dbo.site_id = cs.site_id

      AND countryCode = ca_address.country

      AND ca_address.address_id = ca_site_address.address_id

      AND ca_site_address.site_id = site_id

    1. The structure of yor SQL does not make sense to me.  Is this for SQL Server, or some other flavour of SQL?

    2. T-SQL , SQL Server , As I said its a database view and legacy code.. That's how code was written  in the SQL Server 2000, 2005 days !

    3. So, what is the name of the view?

      Do you really have a table or view name dbo?

       

    4. Help us out by providing the source table name for each field in the WHERE clause

    5. view name is dbo.display_list and the code has the slow function which is showing up as top CPU..the function name and code is in the above code snippet.

      stringmultitypes

    6. Please see the code below.

      Which tables contain the fields countryCode and site_id ?

        FROM    dbo.
      , dbo.ca_site AS cs
      , ca_dataDictionary_Countries
      , ca_address
      , ca_site_address WITH ( NOLOCK )
      WHERE dbo.site_id = cs.site_id
      AND countryCode = ca_address.country -- Which table contains the field countryCode?
      AND ca_address.address_id = ca_site_address.address_id
      AND ca_site_address.site_id = site_id -- Which table contains the field site_id?
    7. countrycode- table ca_dataDictionary_Countries

      site_id- table ca_site_Study

    8. You are going to have to check the joins.  Without knowing your tables and data, I have attempted to change the joins, so that I can add the OUTER APPLY for the iTVF

                  -- ...,
      onHold = CASE WHEN dbo.onHold = 1 THEN 'Yes' ELSE 'No' END,
      --multiType = dbo.Stringmultitypes( id ), -- Replace this line with the one below
      multiType = smt.Types
      FROM dbo
      INNER JOIN dbo.ca_site AS cs
      ON dbo.site_id = cs.site_id
      CROSS JOIN ca_dataDictionary_Countries
      INNER JOIN ca_address
      ON ca_dataDictionary_Countries.countryCode = ca_address.country
      INNER JOIN ca_site_address WITH ( NOLOCK )
      ON ca_address.address_id = ca_site_address.address_id
      AND ca_site_address.site_id = cs.site_id
      OUTER APPLY dbo.Stringmultitypes( id ) AS smt;
    9. Sorry, had to step away for a presentation. I agree with the suggestions so far.

    10. We're spinning our wheels because we don't know enough about your code or the underlying tables.  You even have an error in the FROM clause of the code in your original post (dbo.,).

      Please see the second link in my signature line below for what we need to help you better.

    11. When you are entering code in a post there is a little button you can press so it shows as code, this makes it easier for people to read your question:

      tempsnip

      Both @Type and @_id are not declared.

      The first line of the view creation has no name:

      CREATE VIEW [dbo]. AS

      The first table in the comma separate list of table has no name:

      FROM dbo., dbo.ca_site cs, ca_dataDictionary_Countries, ca_address, ca_site_address WITH (NOLOCK)

      So you get the following errors:

      Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
      Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'AS'.
      Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 119
      Incorrect syntax near ','.
      Msg 319, Level 15, State 1, Line 119
      Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'. If this statement is a common table expression, an xmlnamespaces clause or a change tracking context clause, the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon.

      You will get better responses if you format your question and submit it in a state that will at least compile.

      Even worse you must of actually had to go to the effort of editing your code to make it so it doesn't compile!
