  • RE: SQL Server Query Performance Questions

    SQL_Enthusiast (4/25/2013)


    Let's say, for whatever crazy reason, that temp tables are not an option. Is there a problem with using VIEWS? Especially if the views can be recycled for other...

    I bet it's the table variables. They can't have indexes on them nor stats maintained for the data.

    Table variables don't have stats, but they certainly can have...

  • RE: SQL Server Query Performance Questions

    There's no inherent reason the proc should perform so badly.

    Instead of table variables, use temp tables and index the temp tables appropriately.

    I suspect the time can be reduced significantly from...

  • RE: Problem with audit trigger

    You may gain some performance by avoiding counting all the rows in inserted and deleted:

    ON dbo.SystemInfo

    AFTER INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE

    SET NOCOUNT ON;

  • RE: Need help with a Summary Query

    I think something like this should at least be close:

    SUM(CASE WHEN Q1 = [values].value THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS Q1,

  • RE: Max or Top 1 more efficient

    Just in case, IF you already have an index on ( YearValue, MonthValue ), then this should be extremely fast:

    Sorry, forgot I ended up using a database-specific function in the code (was trying to avoid it). This approach should be safer overall anyway:

    SQL Server does not have an equivalent to that function or functionality :-(.

    Yeah, that's the official story. But I don't 100% buy it.

    With that many different fragments, if I were you, I'd run contig.exe on that(those) file(s) anyway.
