Eliminating duplicates while insert

  • Hi,

    WITH cte_OrderProjectType AS

    (

    select Orderid, min(TypeID) , min(CTType) , MIN(Area)

    from tableA A inner join

    tableB B ON A.PID = B.PID left join

    tableC C ON C.TypeID = B.TypeID LEFT JOIN

    tableD D ON D.AreaID = B.ID

    group by A.orderid

    )

    This query uses min to eliminate duplicates. It takes 1.30 seconds to complete..

    Is there any way I can improve the query performance ?

    Thanks,

    PSB

  • What's wrong with 1.3 seconds?

    Seriously though, be sure you have indices on the join columns. Pre-aggregate the minimum calculations do reduce the join rows.

  • Try this method may be.. http://sqlsaga.com/sql-server/how-to-remove-duplicates-from-a-table-in-sql-server/[/url]

    There are ranking functions that you can use instead of aggregations too.. but depends on the purpose again..

    Read about ranking functions here @ http://sqlsaga.com/sql-server/what-is-the-difference-between-rank-dense_rank-row_number-and-ntile-in-sql-server/[/url]

    I think OP meant 90 secs, may be 😛

  • There are multiple queries in the view that uses MIN and total time to execute the view is 8 minutes . 🙁

    This view is used by a stored procedure which is being called from a application and we are receiving timeout issue.

  • Please add an alias to columns in the SELECT:

    select ?.Orderid, min(?.TypeID) , min(?.CTType) , MIN(?.Area)

    Otherwise we can't really rewrite any of the code.

  • Query with alias :

    WITH cte_OrderProjectType AS

    (

    select A.Orderid, min(B.TypeID) , min(C.CTType) , MIN(D.Area)

    from tableA A inner join

    tableB B ON A.PID = B.PID left join

    tableC C ON C.TypeID = B.TypeID LEFT JOIN

    tableD D ON D.AreaID = B.ID

    group by A.orderid

    )

  • You could try something like this and see if it helps:

    WITH cte_OrderProjectType AS

    (

    select A.Orderid, min(B.TypeID) , min(C.CTType) , MIN(D.Area)

    from tableA A inner join (

    select PID, min(TypeID) AS TypeID

    from tableB

    group by PID ) AS

    B ON A.PID = B.PID left join (

    select TypeID, min(CTType) AS CTType

    from tableC

    group by TypeID ) AS

    C ON C.TypeID = B.TypeID LEFT JOIN (

    select AreaID, MIN(area) AS Area

    from tableD

    group by AreaID ) AS

    D ON D.AreaID = B.ID

    group by A.orderid

    )

    select *

    from cte_OrderProjectType

  • Here is another way, using ranking

    😎

    WITH CTE_OPT_BASE AS

    (

    select

    ROW_NUMBER() OVER

    (

    PARTITION BY

    A.Orderid

    ,B.TypeID

    ,C.CTType

    ,D.Area

    ORDER BY

    (SELECT NULL)

    ) AS ORDER_RID

    ,A.Orderid

    ,B.TypeID

    ,C.CTType

    ,D.Area

    from tableA A inner join

    tableB B ON A.PID = B.PID left join

    tableC C ON C.TypeID = B.TypeID LEFT JOIN

    tableD D ON D.AreaID = B.ID

    )

    ,cte_OrderProjectType AS

    (

    SELECT

    OPT.Orderid

    ,OPT.TypeID

    ,OPT.CTType

    ,OPT.Area

    FROM CTE_OPT_BASE

    WHERE ORDER_RID = 1

    )

  • Thanks everyone.
