ANSI and Non Ansi issue.

  • I am not good at SQL. My developers has come and asking me to decrease the db compat level to 80 in SQL 2005 env for one of there requirement i cant do this because other queries has started taking more time. They want the output with null values ie the option 2 .

    Can you guys help in rewriting the ANSI query in a way it should return 39299904 rows

    1.Query with ANSI SQL SYNTAX:

    select Count(*)

    from dbo.et_Summary_Income_Statement inc

    left outer join dbo.it_1_Revenue__Costs rev on rev.itemiid=inc.dimension_1_revenu

    left outer join dbo.it_2_elist e on e.itemiid=inc.elist

    left outer join dbo.it_2_LOB l on l.itemiid=inc.dimension_2_lob

    left outer join dbo.it_2_RegionCurrency rg on rg.itemiid=inc.dimension_2_region

    left outer join dbo.it_4_Months_QTRS mnt on mnt.itemiid=inc.dimension_4_months

    --Total rows 1125210

    2.Query with ANSI SQL SYNTAX:

    select Count(*)

    from dbo.it_1_Revenue__Costs rev,dbo.it_2_elist e,dbo.it_2_LOB l,

    dbo.it_2_RegionCurrency rg,dbo.it_4_Months_QTRS mnt,dbo.et_Summary_Income_Statement inc

    where rev.itemiid*=inc.dimension_1_revenu

    and l.itemiid*=inc.dimension_2_lob

    and e.itemiid*=inc.elist

    and rg.itemiid*=inc.dimension_2_region

    and mnt.itemiid*=inc.dimension_4_months

    -- Total rows 39299904

  • I don't know the number of rows it will return, but your non-ansi query translates to this:

    select Count(*)

    from dbo.it_1_Revenue__Costs rev

    left outer join dbo.et_Summary_Income_Statement inc

    on rev.itemiid = inc.dimension_1_revenu

    left outer join dbo.it_2_elist e

    on e.itemiid = inc.elist

    left outer join dbo.it_2_LOB l

    on l.itemiid = inc.dimension_2_lob

    left outer join dbo.it_2_RegionCurrency rg

    on rg.itemiid = inc.dimension_2_region

    left outer join dbo.it_4_Months_QTRS mnt

    on mnt.itemiid = inc.dimension_4_months

  • Is it giving the right results?

  • Thanks.

    I tried but still its giving only 1125213 rows

  • This should work, the trick is to follow the WHERE clause:

    SELECT COUNT(*)

    FROM dbo.et_Summary_Income_Statement inc

    RIGHT JOIN dbo.it_1_Revenue__Costs rev

    ON rev.itemiid = inc.dimension_1_revenu

    RIGHT JOIN dbo.it_2_LOB l

    ON l.itemiid = inc.dimension_2_lob

    RIGHT JOIN dbo.it_2_elist e

    ON e.itemiid = inc.elist

    RIGHT JOIN dbo.it_2_RegionCurrency rg

    ON rg.itemiid = inc.dimension_2_region

    RIGHT JOIN dbo.it_4_Months_QTRS mnt

    ON mnt.itemiid = inc.dimension_4_months

  • You may also want to compare the actual execution plans between the two queries.

    If possible, could you post those here if you still have problems?

  • If the queries are starting to take more time, it could be that your statistics are getting out of date. Do you have a maintenance plan for maintaining them? It's also possible, if you're running sp_updatestats and the sampled statistics aren't adequate for your system and you might need to update the statistics with a full scan.

    Also, are you keeping your indexes defragmented? Index fragmentation will lead to slow performance over time.

    None of these sound like good reasons to change the compatibility level of the database.

  • evertyhing is fine. all indexes are rebuilt no fragmentaion. My requirement is , just for one query i cannot change the db compat level which is not recomended .

    My intention is to rewrite the query in such a way it should return same count as as the non-ansi query returns .

  • unfourtunately this is again returning 1125210 rows

  • As this query is quite straightforward to translate, prove that these two statements produce different results.

    select Count(*)

    from dbo.it_1_Revenue__Costs rev,dbo.it_2_elist e,dbo.it_2_LOB l,

    dbo.it_2_RegionCurrency rg,dbo.it_4_Months_QTRS mnt,dbo.et_Summary_Income_Statement inc

    where rev.itemiid*=inc.dimension_1_revenu

    and l.itemiid*=inc.dimension_2_lob

    and e.itemiid*=inc.elist

    and rg.itemiid*=inc.dimension_2_region

    and mnt.itemiid*=inc.dimension_4_months

    SELECT COUNT(*)

    FROM dbo.et_Summary_Income_Statement inc

    RIGHT JOIN dbo.it_1_Revenue__Costs rev

    ON rev.itemiid = inc.dimension_1_revenu

    RIGHT JOIN dbo.it_2_LOB l

    ON l.itemiid = inc.dimension_2_lob

    RIGHT JOIN dbo.it_2_elist e

    ON e.itemiid = inc.elist

    RIGHT JOIN dbo.it_2_RegionCurrency rg

    ON rg.itemiid = inc.dimension_2_region

    RIGHT JOIN dbo.it_4_Months_QTRS mnt

    ON mnt.itemiid = inc.dimension_4_months
