Optimize & Trim Query

HELP ME TO OPTIMIZE QUERY

Feb 2, 2007

Hello friends,
 
I’m facing performance related problem while running following query on SQL Server 2000.
 
This query is basically used to find last location of each unit that are passed. Here I am passing data like “‘26','27','28','29','30','31','32','33','34','35','36','37','38','39','40','41','42','43','44','45','46','47','48','49','50'" in @Units variable. But it takes too much time and I don’t get output. Table is having around 5 Million records.
 
Query:
 
SELECT    Alias, tblUnit.UnitID,  Location, Latitude, Longitude,Convert(varchar(10),UnitHistoryDate,1) + ' ' + substring(Convert(varchar(40),UnitHistoryDate,109),12,9)  + ' ' + substring(Convert(varchar(40),UnitHistoryDate,109),25,2) as [Date/Time], unithistoryid
FROM tblUnit INNER JOIN
tblUnitHistory ON  tblUnit.UnitID =  tblUnitHistory.UnitID
WHERE tblUnitHistory.UnitHistoryDate
IN (SELECT MAX(UnitHistoryDate) FROM tblUnitHistory WHERE  tblUnitHistory.UnitID in (' + @Units + ') GROUP BY tblUnitHistory.UnitID)
AND tblUnit.UnitID in (' + @Units + ')
ORDER BY tblUnit.UnitID
 
 
Table Structure:
 
UnitHistoryID                             int   Primary Key
UnitID                                       int                    
Location                                    varchar(200)     
Latitude                                     decimal            9         
Longitude                                  decimal            9         
Speed                                       decimal 5         
BatteryVoltage                           decimal 5         
ReasonCode                              int
DistanceFromLastLocation            decimal 9         
UnitHistoryDate                         datetime
 
Indexes:
 
1. Clustered Index on Column UnitID
2. Non-clustered Index on Column UnitHistoryDate
3. Non-clustered Index on Column UnitHistoryID
 
Please help me to write optimize query and suggest me the steps to require making this query faster. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sandeep

Optimize This Query?

Oct 12, 2007

I have a nightly job that aggregates data into a summary table.  Each night, an additional item may or may not be added, so the table is cleared and repopulated.  I've got this working fine.  Now, I am being asked to track when an item first appears in the summary table.  Here is the code I am using to do this.  I realize it is very poor performance, but I don't know how to make it better.
MyTable Columns:  id INT PK  ,v1 VARCHAR(4)  ,v2 VARCHAR(10  ,v3 DECIMAL  ,item1 BIT  ,item2 BIT  ,item3 BIT
MyTable2 Columns:  v1 VARCHAR(4)  ,v2 VARCHAR(10  ,v3 DECIMAL  ,item INT  ,FirstKnownDate DATETIME
All columns are NOT NULL.1 DECLARE @iNextRowID INT
2 ,@iCurrentRowID INT
3 ,@iLoopControl INT
4 ,@v1 VARCHAR(4)
5 ,@v2 VARCHAR(10)
6 ,@v3 DECIMAL
7
8 /* This is a loop that executes for a dynamic number of items, eg item1=1, then item2=1, etc */
9 SET @iLoopControl=1
10 SELECT @iNextRowID=MIN(id) FROM MyTable WHERE item1=1
11
12 IF ISNULL(@iNextRowID,0) <> 0 BEGIN
13 SELECT @iCurrentRowID = id
14 ,@v1 = v1
15 ,@v2 = v2
16 ,@v3 = v3
17 FROM MyTable
18 WHERE id=@iNextRowID
19
20 WHILE @iLoopControl = 1 BEGIN
21 IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM MyTable2 WHERE v1=@v2 AND v2=@v2 AND v3=@v3 AND item=1) BEGIN
22 INSERT INTO MyTable2
23 /* COLUMN */ (v1,v2,v3,item,firstknowndate)
24 SELECT @v1, @v2, @v3, 1, GETDATE()
25 END
26
27 SELECT @iNextRowID = NULL
28 SELECT @iNextRowID = MIN(id) FROM MyTable WHERE id>@iCurrentRowID AND item1=1
29
30 IF ISNULL(@iNextRowID,0) = 0 BEGIN
31 BREAK
32 END
33
34 SELECT @iCurrentRowID = id
35 ,@v1 = v1
36 ,@v2 = v2
37 ,@v3 = v3
38 FROM MyTable
39 WHERE id=@iNextRowID
40 END
41 END42 /* This is the end of the items loop */
This query takes 5 minutes to do straight inserts without the test for exists in the loop for 3 items.  MyTable has just under 96,000 rows in it. MyTable2 has 121,857 rows in it. It is not about 55 minutes and it is still running with the exists so that a row isn't inserted twice. Is there anything I can do to optimize this? EDIT: The query just finished running again with the test for exists on each row. It shouldn't have inserted any new rows, but it took 57 minutes and inserted another 114,115 rows. Not good. Anyone see what is wrong with the query?

Currently this query takes forever to execute. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Can someone look at this sql statement and tell me if it can be sped up? Also I have to add to it by joining it with another table. How do I do that? Just by nesting another join?

Thanks!


Set rs=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
sql = "SELECT td.TeamID, td.TeamName, rt.PartID, rt.Effort, rt.UnitMeas, pd.MinMilesConv "
sql = sql & "FROM TeamData td INNER JOIN PartData pd ON td.TeamID = pd.TeamID "
sql = sql & "JOIN RunTrng rt ON pd.PartID = rt.PartID "
sql = sql & "WHERE rt.TrngDate >= '" & Session("beg_date") & "' AND rt.TrngDate < '" & Session("end_date")
sql = sql & "' AND pd.Archive = 'N' AND pd.Gender = '" & sGender & "' AND pd.Grade >= " & iMinGrade
sql = sql & " AND pd.Grade <= " & iMaxGrade & " ORDER BY td.TeamID"

ORDER BY Cert_WarehouseDetails.RecordNO



In above query,as
1. Union (INNER) query returns me 200000 records.

2. If I run above query it takes 18 sec because no index on Cert_WarehouseDetails.RecordNO and i'm ordering on that.

3. When I avoid to 'ORDER BY Cert_WarehouseDetails.RecordNO' then query takes 2 sec.

4. In this case Do I have to use 'nvarchar'
convert(datetime,convert(nvarchar,Cert_WarehouseDe tails.IssuedDateX,101)) <= '3/31/2004')

5. Why do we have to use 'nvarchar' can you explain to me in above statement..


Can you provide me alternate solution so I can make it fast.

Please reply to me asap. Thanks in advance.

Optimize Query

Nov 17, 2006

Hello,I am trying to find all records that have matching detail_1 or detail_2columns. This is what I have now:select t1.id, t1.detail_1, t1.detail_2, t2.id from user_details t1,user_details t2where t1.detail_1 = t2.detail_1 or t1.detail_2 = t2.detail_2;Using smaller tables of around 1000 records, I have verified that thisindeed does the job. However, when I apply it to the real table thathas around 40,000 records, it takes so long that I have to stop thequery.The table in question is quite simple and is created as follows. Thereare no indexes on the table:create table user_details (id integer, detail_1 varchar(50), detail_2varchar(50)Is there a way to make it go faster?

Hi! I have an optimisation problem. I've currently got a query that retrieve about 10K records according the mode that user difined earlier.

At the very beginning I've wrote the same code through the user-defined functions, but I found in publications that it's a wrong way to develop with MSSQL, but it worked more and more faster (3 sec). Now I rewrite my query with inline table functions...CREATE FUNCTION ans_app_name1()

Please Help Optimize My Query?

May 1, 2007

Hello all!

I've currently got a query that takes two tables with the same structure, and spits out the differences in the second table - this is done to help me see what new records have been added in the second table that don't exist in the first. The only catch is that I have to compare two columns in sort of a pseudo-composite-key. Here's the gist of the table structure:

Table A:
ID (Autonumber),
Firstname,
Lastname,
OS,
PC Manufacturer

Table B (The new one):
Firstname,
Lastname,
OS,
PC Manufacturer

The two columns I have to compare are firstname and lastname, as there aren't any other unique identifiers that match between the two tables. Right now, I'm using some really convoluted WHERE statements, and I suspect that it could be done more cleanly. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance...

Optimize Query

Jan 16, 2008



Below you see a query I run.

The result of this query is shown below...
The result shows fields such as Bid_Price_Best_Latest and Ask_Price_Best_Latest may or may not have null values.
At present, I use a cursor to get the values of these two fields if any of them is null from the table tblPricesSourcesImportHistory for the latest Import_Date on each record.
These two fields are referred to as Bid_Price, Ask_Price in tblPricesSourcesImportHistory.

Now I would like to find out how to do this without the use of a cursor, so that I can speed up this query.

Thanks


select
fp.Security_ID,
fp.Security_Name,

fp.Bid_Size_Best_Latest,

How To Optimize This Slow Query?

Mar 25, 2004

tblElements.ID is a foreign key to tblOwner.eID
@PrevRec = dynamic number of previous records
@owner = owner ID

SELECT TOP 2 tblOwner.eID FROM tblOwner
LEFT JOIN tblElements ON
tblElements.ID = tblOwner.eID
WHERE tblOwner.own_ID = @Owner AND tblElements.ID NOT IN
(SELECT TOP + @PrevRec + tblOwner.eID FROM tblOwner
LEFT JOIN tblElements ON
tblElements.ID = tblOwner.eID WHERE tblOwner.own_ID = @Owner) ORDER BY tblOwner.eID ASC

This query is used to display one record per page on a ASP paging script, I select top 2 because, I want to be able to know if I have another page or record to go to and deside if I need to display the "Next" button.

Also It is suppose to select records only assigned to it's ower.
It works fairly quick when viewing first few hundred records, then it takes a very long time.

I have indexed ID and eID as clustered indexes also tblOwner could have multiple instances eID.

Is there an easier way of writing this out.

How To Optimize Following Query For Execution Time

Mar 18, 2008

Hell All,
Following query takes 7 minutes to execute while using search criteria as shown below in blue text(ie. IN(2006,2007)
if criteria changes to =2006 as shown in 2),this takes 2minutes

But I want expected output as in query 1) in less time.
How to optimize following query for execution time?

1)select sum(PB.CONSN_QTY)Consumption,Count(*),PB.BillPro_Year

Help Me Optimize A Daily Events Query

Nov 1, 2006

We keep a database of events that are classified by severity. I've got a good, efficient query that gives me the grand total for these events. And I have a bad slow query that breaks down the information into daily totals.

My fast query will count the totals for 3213586 events in 4 seconds. The slow daily query takes about 60 seconds for each day.

Please help optimize my slow query!

Help Trim Or Len

Jan 29, 2007

Guys/Girls

Have a small problem I have received a load of data in a flat file format and each column has dividend up with a comma. I have stuck the whole row in to its own column.

What I want to do is take the first 12 characters of the row and put them in there own column.

I think I need to use the Len function or the trim function, so can some body point me in the right direction on how to do this.

Trim Character

Jul 5, 2007

OK, the problem is like this; say the table is sumthing like this

i have a table 't3' has 3 fields
id(number,2)
date(date/time)
text(varchar,200)

eg. id date text
-----------------------
01 05-jul-07 abcdefghijkl (i want to get rid of the first 6 characters i.e. abcdef)

i want to display 'text' field from t3 table but with the first 6 characters trimmed/removed (i want to get rid of the 6 first characters)

so i did:

select LTRIM(text,6) from t3

but the above code didn't work because LTRIM only trims spaces NOT characters... Is there any way that i can trim off the first 6 characters from every record in the 'text' field?
