query spiking CPU to 100%

  • upgraded one of our servers to sql 2005 SP1 a week ago and we have been troubleshooting performance problems ever since. so far we have narrowed it down to 2 queries. this one spikes our 8 900MHz CPU Compaq server to 100% for 10 minutes at a time. runs in seconds on sql 2000 on much older and slower hardware.

    sql 2k execution plan is all index seeks on the right indexes and sql 2005 is an index scan on the PK. MS is saying it's by design, but i've never seen an index scan do this. they said that they changed the optimizer to do this to avoid stack overflows at high usage.

  • Did you run update statistics after the upgrade?

    After upgrading a database the old statistics become invalid and SQL Server can't use them anymore for optimizing the query plans.

  • yes and we did it with full scan last night and still same result. we changed it to use temp tables as a hotfix, but would like to know why it happened in the first place

  • The problem is with the IN command. IN clause can be interpreted in many ways and had a lot of problems in SQL 2K. That is why (I imagine) it was addressed in SQL 2K5. The problem is that the values specified in the IN clause has to be stored somewhere by the server. That can be done in memory or on disk. The placement of these values is left to the discretion of SQL server. If the data is written to disk (e.g., using built in temp DB objects, for example) then SQL server will behave in one way. If writing to memory, it will behave differently. The "where to save" and "how to process the query" varies significantly between SQL versions and editions. It has to do with internal thresholds used inside the engine for the decision making process.

    You did however choose a great path by using an explicit temp table (which you can obviously index), which allows you to control the execution plan and optimization to some extent.

  • Similar experience - 6 minute query on SQL 2000 was running 29 minutes on SQL 2005 with much higher performance hardware.

    Examined execution plan on 2000 and used hints on 2005 to force similar execution - now runs in 20 seconds!!

    So far this has been a 'one-off' occurrence - a dozen other procs have all benchmarked substantially faster on the new box without being touched.

    Testing is done after update stats, etc. on the new box and with no other activity and clear buffers and proc cache before each run.....

  • Optimizer 1 != Optimizer 2

  • i tried this on one of our new 64 bit boxes with 20GB RAM. Still spikes it to 100%, but it runs in like 30 seconds compared to 10 minutes and no tempdb is used.

  • Does anyone use DTA to see what SQL Server wants to do for additional indexes / statistics? I use this along with viewing the execution plan to address performance issues.

    I like to refer to it as "using a BFH"... (B)ig (F) ... you choose the F word... (H)ammer

  • i personally think DTA is a piece of junk. i just look at the query and see which indexes need to be created and create them. sometimes i test in QA first

  • Kurt - I have also found that applying DTA recommendations on the occasional 'bad' query (runs exceptionally long on 2005 compared to 2000) will 'fix' the problem - and I totally agree it's a sledgehammer solution but it is much faster than digging through extremely complex execution plans to find the issue.

    All of the 'bad' queries I have encountered (6-8 out of a few hundred) involve a UNION..........

     

  • Don't get me wrong.... DTA is not a panacea but in a situation where a very complex query is involved it is worth waiting the time having DTA do it's job. I've have resolved many issues where DTA doesn't recommend anything and I've managed to dig through the execution plan to route out problems. Last case scenario is to re-engineer the code which could take a lot more time but is worth it in the long run.

    Thanks for your comment.
