Query performance for Ordering

  • The table schema and indexes and exec plan is attached. I have added indexes but have not seen any improvement. My production server is a 64 bit, 8 processor 2.66GHz 16GB of RAM running 2005 SP2.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Are all your statistics upto date ?

    The actual row counts differ vastly from the estimates.

  • Yes I have updated the stats.

  • You may want to check out this blog post[/url] by Grant Fritchey as it applies to your query.

    What happens if you remove the TOP operator.

  • Did you try updating the statisitics with a FULL SCAN? They're pretty widely out of line. That's frequently an indication that they're out of date.

    You're getting a loop join on 10000 records. That should be a hash, I'm sure.

    I'd try updating the statistics again, using the full scan. The optimizer is making some pretty poor choices here.

  • I get data in seconds without the top operator. I will check out the blog. Its really frustating as i have tried rewriting it different ways, I updated stats with full scan changed the clustered index on the coverage table. I cant seem to get rid of the nested loops. Any help is appreciated.

  • Try running with a recompile hint. You might be just re-using the cached plan.
