Performance Issue

  • Performance issue with one query. There is one select query from a view which does union all from three queries. Out of those the third query is a simple select from one big table. In execution plan, it shows clustered index seek with over 90% participation. There is already a primary key on this table with 6 columns. Index fragmentation of that table is below 30% and statistics are last updated this week only. What else can be issue ?

  • If you post the actual query plan please, experts will be able to help in a more expeditious manner.

  • Usually doing way more work than necessary is the problem with perf. Sounds like you could have a case like that on your hands.

  • Here is the attachment. I've scratched my head blue and black. 🙁

  • Any suggestions ?

  • Don't have time to tune this ATM. NOt a 2 sec job.

    You have a miss. index warning, you could start with that.

    Try to move the where a little sonner and try to whack the distinct.

    I don't see anything else real obvious but I haven't really had time to analyze this.

  • Can anyone please check and advice.

  • create the nonclustered index as

    Cobdate asc

    domainname asc

    row_number asc

    including BookName

  • Thanks Syed. I'll try this and reply.

  • Just remember, those costs are just estimates, not actual measurements. This means there is no correlation between index fragmentation and what you're seeing in the execution plan and what is actually happening when the query executes.

    The optimizer is timing out on this query, so whatever plan you have is less than optimal.

    Why all the DISTINCT operations. Each of these is an aggregate operation which adds a lot of overhead. Can't you join between tables without a DISTINCT operation? Is your DRI broken or non-existant? I'd work to eliminate those first.

    Also, this is an estimated plan. Can you get an actual plan so that all the stats are available?

  • How come Grant ? I saved it from the Execution plan tab once the query ran successfully.
