Poor Performance Query

  • Hi all, having a lot of performance issues with the following query.  Worked great in SQL 7.0 but performs poorly in SQL 2000.  I think it has something to do with the IS NULLs mixed with th OR LIKE statements.  It's a search stored proc for wild card seaches. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

  • I would recmend you that apply the converstion on the date value parameter and used equel (=) rather then like operator and it will slove your problem. even you can remove converstion if you would like.

    i.e;

    (@surg_iatv_date IS NULL OR CONVERT(varchar(30),@surg_iatv_date,109) =surg_iatv_date)

    cheers

  • I would suggest to check out the following (as it might also be helpful for future reference):

  • I'll give that a try and see what happens.  Is it because the optimizer in SQL 2000 processes the Like operator different than it did in SQL 7.0?

  • Also, make sure your variable datatypes match up to your column datatypes. This has oft been reported as the cause of performance degradation between 7 and 2000.

  • Hi all, thanks for all the insight, much appreciated.

    Quest what the problem was.  it was actually the order by clause at the end of the statement.  the optimiser actually physically orders the data that may not even be brought back in the query prior to performing other operations in the query.  Crazy.

     

    Thanks

  • I bet that query will not scale.
