  • RE: Difference In Query Plans while Executing Same Query Independently and Within Stored Proc

    For best performance overall, I strongly suspect you need to change the clustered indexes on the tables. We would have to look at least at missing index and index...

  • RE: Table size is Huge!!!

    LutzM (8/6/2014)


    Here are a few options to make that single table "smaller":

    If the table contains a rather large number of columns (e.g. 50 or more) you might consider "vertical partitioning",...

    For that, you could create a proc on the remote server. You execute the proc remotely, and the proc can issue the start job, and then monitor for job...

    8 hours seems extraordinarily extreme for 172M rows. It seems like there must be more to the story.

    Are you changing the clustered index on the table? Does the...

  • RE: Find Changed Rows (and the row prior to the changes)

    I'd also create the best indexes while re-working the code.

    #Events indexes:

    1) Unique Clustered on ( ProcessDate, L4Ident ) --in that order

    2) Nonclustered on ( L4Ident )

    3) NNonclustered on ( LinkRL4,...

  • RE: SQL procedure Query Performance issue

    OPENQUERY does not allow variables, only literal/static queries.

    Try code below instead.

  • RE: Performance tuning classes?

    Books should be more valuable than classes. Look for titles by Kalen Delaney particularly. For general SQL skills, look for Itzik Ben-Gan.

  • RE: Tuning a query that takes 60 minutes to run,

    I suspect it's because SQL's internal processing does "ON" clauses before WHERE clauses.

    Therefore, I think they figure the ON clause might eliminate rows sooner than a WHERE clause, and avoid...
