Actual Execution Plan Vs Estimated Execution Plan
Jul 7, 2006The benefit of the actual execution plan is that you can see the actual number of rows passing through each step - compared to the estimated number of rows.But what about the "cost percentages" ?I believe I've read somewhere that these percentages is still just an estimate and is not based on the real execution.Does anyone know this and preferable have a link to something that documents it?Thanks

View 4 Replies View RelatedUnderstanding Estimated Execution Plan
Jul 24, 2006When I generate an estimated execution plan from Management Studio, one of the things I often see in the execution plan generated is an 'Index Scan'. When I put my mouse over the 'Index Scan' graphic, I will see a window display with something called 'Output List' at the bottom of the window. Do I understand correctly that SQL Server will scan my index looking for values in each of the fields included in this output list?
Thanks, Amos.

Hi,
I am writing a client application that shows estimated queries plans and statistics. I know how to obtain estimated plans by using SQL Server Management Studio. But is it possible to obtain by using database functions?
I have found sys.dm_exec_query_plan, but it seems that this function can only be used for executed (or executing) queries...
Thanks
SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Estimated Query Plan For A Stored Procedure With Multiple Query Statements
Oct 30, 2015When viewing an estimated query plan for a stored procedure with multiple query statements, two things stand out to me and I wanted to get confirmation if I'm correct.
1. Under <ParameterList><ColumnReference... does the xml attribute "ParameterCompiledValue" represent the value used when the query plan was generated?
<ParameterList>
<ColumnReference Column="@Measure" ParameterCompiledValue="'all'" />
</ParameterList>
</QueryPlan>
</StmtSimple>
2. Does each query statement that makes up the execution plan for the stored procedure have it's own execution plan? And meaning the stored procedure is made up of multiple query plans that could have been generated at a different time to another part of that stored procedure?
Bad Execution Plan
Aug 21, 2001I'm new to SQL server but familiar enough with databases to know this doesn't seem right.
Here's the situation:
I have a table with real estate property information. There are about 650,000 rows in it. I have a nonclustered non-unique index on the city where the property is located. There are about 40 unique values in this index.
I do a simple query like:
SELECT city,address from propinfo where city= 'CARLSBAD'. The query will return about 4,000 rows. The problem is that the execution plan that it chooses is to do a full table scan. I.E. Even though there is an index on City, it chooses to look through 650,000 rows rather than do an index seek. Something sounds inefficient here. BTW, this happens in both SQL 7 and SQL 2000. Can anyone explain why this happens? I've got to think that SQL Server is more efficient here.
Execution Plan
Feb 2, 2006Hello, I have been looking at the execution plan for a procedure call and the select, compute scalar, stream aggregates, constant scan, nested loops, asserts are all at 0% cost, the PK costs are 2% apart from a rogue 7% and a few 20%, tables scans are all at 23%. The query cost realtive to the batch is 100%. What does this all mean?
I have put non-clustered indexes on all the table attributes that are involved in the select statements but this has made no difference, i am guessing this is because my tables are not heavily populated and i may have seen a difference if i had thousands of entries in the tables the select statements acted on, is this assumption correct?
Does anyone else bother using the execution plan to tweak there DB or is it a negligible tool?

Execution Plan
Aug 29, 2007In sql server 2005 management studio where do I find the option to run the sql query in the query analyser and also show the execution plan?
At present I see the option under Query menu which is "Display estimated Execution plan" which only shows the plan but does not execute the query.
Thanks
Execution Plan
Feb 29, 2008Does anyone know of a good way to copy the execution plan when using "Include Actual Execution Plan"?
I often need to copy this and mail it.
I know I can use PrintScreen button, but I need a more efficient way to do this.
If I just could rightclick the execution plan and select "Copy" and get complete plan it would be great.

Sep 24, 2002Hello ,
I wanted to know whether we have an execution plan enabled in SQL 6.5 as we have it in SQL 7.0 and SQL 2000 .
I.e when we execute a query and if we enable ' show execution plan 'then it creates a map and shows the vital statistics .
If that is available on SQL 6.5 then i am missing that tool .
How can i have it installed on my SQL 6.5 server ??

Execution Plan Analysis
Jul 9, 2003Hi,
I want to know how to analyze query execution plan for complex queries and what information is useful from that for improving the performance. I have gone through details in some sites like www.like sql-performance.com (http://www.sql-server-performance.com/query_execution_plan_analysis.asp), where it was more generic. I want more info regarding this.
Can any one tell about the resources for this or do you have any white papers or documents, which you can share with me.
Thanks in advance,

Execution Plan Degradation
Mar 24, 2008Hi all,
I am experiencing performance problems with one of my stored procedures. When the stored procedure is first compiled an executed, it behaves as expected (it usually takes 1 or 2 seconds to complete). But its performace it is degradated, so in 1 day, it usually takes 120 seconds to complete !!!. Once the stored procedure is compiled, its performance it is then the expected.
It is a complex stored procedure with two integer parameters with only one select, but composed by multiple views and sub-queries. We have been trying to break the query into small pieces using temporary tables but without success. The SQL Profiler shows an unusual number of reads when it goes wrong (more than a million reads).
I think the problem is in the execution plan. I know than compiling the stored procedure, the problem is fixed, but I do not know exactly when and why it starts to happen.
The stored procedure is running under the following configuration:
- Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition (64-bit).
- Version: 9.00.1399.06
- RAM 16 MB
- 8 CPUs
Anyone has any ideas or possible solutions?
Thanks in advance,
Carlos.

View 5 Replies View RelatedExecution Plan Hinting
Mar 9, 2006We've got as slightly unusual scenario happening whereby a statement ispassed to SQL which consists of two parts.BEGIN TRANSACTIONDELETE * FROM WhateverBULK INSERT INTO Whatever...(etc)COMMIT TRANSACTIONThe first is a deletion of the data and the second is the bulk insertof replacement data into that table. The error that we see is aviolation of the primary key (composite).The violation only happens if we run both processes together. If we runone, then the other, it works fine. If we set a line by line insert, itworks fine.My suspicion is that the execution plan that is being run is mostlikely working the two parts in parallel and that the records stillexist at the point that the insert is happening. Truncate is not anoption. The bulk insert was added for performance reasons. There is anoption of trying the bulk insert, and if that fails, do the line byline insert, but it's far from ideal.I think we can probably wrap this into two individual transactionswithin the one statement as follows :BEGIN TRANSACTIONDELETE * FROM WhateverCOMMIT TRANSACTIONBEGIN TRANSACTIONBULK INSERT INTO Whatever...(etc)COMMIT TRANSACTIONWill this give sufficient hint to SQL about the order it processes itso that it completes as we intend and not as it sees being the mostefficient method ?Or, is there a better approach to this ?I've seen that some hints can be passed to SQL for optimizing, but myunderstanding was that it was always better to trust the optimiser andre-work the query as needed.With the server having two processors, is it feasible that one is doingone part and the other processor the other part in parallel ? Willtelling it to use a single processor be worthwhile looking at ? MAXDOP1 ?Finally, I'd imagine that the insert is quicker to process than thedeletion. Is this correct ?ThanksRyan
View 14 Replies View RelatedStuck Execution Plan?
May 2, 2006Using SQL Server 2000 SP4.There is a relatively complex stored procedure that usually completes inless than 20 seconds. Occasionally it times out after 180 seconds. The SPis called via ADO 2.8, using adCmdStoredProc command type. If I useProfiler to capture the EXEC that ADO sends to run the procedure, and runthat from QA, the procedure completes in less than 20 seconds as it should.The procedure is created WITH RECOMPILE. One additional twist is thatsp_setapprole is called from the client before running the procedure inquestion. This may be irrelevant, because even if I include the samesp_setapprole call when running the procedure from QA, it still executesquickly, and even if I comment out the call to sp_setapprole in the clientcode, the proc still times out when run from the client.The only thing that fixes it, at least for a day or two, is DBCCFREEPROCCACHE. So it appears that a bad plan is somehow stuck in memory andis only used when the procedure is called from the client app, and is notflushed even though the procedure was created WITH RECOMPILE.Other than scheduling the DBCC call to run every night, is there anythingelse I could try to get this resolved? Thanks.--(remove a 9 to reply by email)
View 5 Replies View RelatedExecution Plan Mystery
May 31, 2006I was hoping someone could shed some light on wierd situation i'm experiencing. I have the following query:
select count(*) LeadCount
from auto_leads al
where received > dbo.GetDay(GetDate())
dbo.GetDay simply returns a smalldatetime value of today's date.
Now I recently got thrown into a data mess and for some reason this query takes 8 seconds to run. Now the first thing I did was update the stats on the Received column of this auto_leads table. I re-run the query and I'm still getting 8 seconds. I look at the execution plan I can make figure out why this is happening.
I then change the above query so the filter received > dbo.GetDay(GetDate()) is now just received > '5/31/2006' and the query comes back immediately. This doesn't make sense to me because the GetDay function is really simple and comes back immediately. I then try the following query to confirm it isn't a problem with the GetDay function:
declare @Today DateTime
set @Today = dbo.getday(GetDate())
select count(*) leads
from auto_leads al
join type_lead_status tls on (tls.type_lead_status_id = al.type_lead_status_id)
where received > @Today
Sure enough, the query came back immediately. Next thing to go through my mind is that the query execution plan has been cached by SQL Server using the execution plan from before I updated the stats on the received column. So I executed sp_recompile 'auto_leads' and tryed the original query again. Still taking 8-10 seconds to come back.
So my question, is why when I remove the GetDay function call in my query filter is the query slow, as opposed to me just passing a variable into the query? Thanks!

Execution Plan Question
Apr 27, 2007 I'm new to sql server 2005 and was reviewing the execution plan on one of my queries.
I have a query that selects about 62,000 rows from a table of about 20 million
I see there is a index seek indicated but further down the execution plan I see that a large percent is being assigned to a RID LOOKUP on the same table.
Should I be concerned with this and if so, what would you recommend I do to correct it?
Change Of Execution Plan
Sep 5, 2006Hi,
We migrated our database from SQL Server 2000 to Yukon last week. Now, when we run our application it has slowed down. We analyzed some stored procedure and they seems to have degarded. The execution plan has changed. Now, this looks like there's lot of work if we have to tune each query w.r.t the new execution plan. Our application has around 4000 stored procs. Is anyone aware of some generic pattern or solution such that these exection plans problem can resolved? Also, does the new execution plan ensure that the once we tune stored procs will perform better than SQL Server 2000.
Need help on this, otherwise it seems we might have to move back to 2000.
Thanks in Advance

SQL Compilation And Execution Plan
Jul 5, 2007Hi all,
I€™m having a test regarding to the image data type. The test program is written with sql native api and just update the image data type column, but I looked the SQL Compilations/sec and Batch Requests/sec counters in SQLServer:QL Statistics using Perfmon, both values are almost the same. It seemed whenever the stored procedure is called, SQLServer compiles it and makes execution plan again. But when I had a test without image data type, SQL Compilation/sec was 0. SQL version is Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3054.00 (Intel X86) (Build 2600: Service Pack 2).
Is SQL server working the way expected or am I missing something?
