I have found a view written by a developer that is causing a compilation time out, and an execution plan that has about 50 operators in the graph. Should this select statement be written with the joins outside of the "FROM" clause, or does that not matter? It is causing "nested" loops in the Stmt Text.

does not look like it - no duration, neither actual rows - only expected executions.
did you capture it yourself while executing it or through a monitor tool like SQL Monitor?
but regardless - issue here is views over views over views - remove all this complexity and query will be easier for SQL to compile and performance will likely improve.

you have other views there - and views over views over views always cause issues with the query processor.

the actual explain plan for this will be useful - and all the DDL for the views involved might help.

(and do teach the developer the use of table alias - none of them has one and having the full schema/tablename on each column on the select just causes code to be harder to follow/mantain)

The execution plan is huge. Should I paste it as XML? I can't do a screen shot because it goes way off the screen in both directions.

If you save the plan as a SQLPLAN file and attach that would be best, failing that use https://www.brentozar.com/pastetheplan/ and share the output link

Thanks, I pasted the plan;

frederico_fonseca SSCoach Points: 16154 More actions · Answer 5

that is an estimated plan, not the a actual execution plan - can you get the actual one please.

and also the view (and all sub called views).

in all likelihood all this should be rewritten to use the tables required directly instead of overusing views.

select code below - slightly better for viewing

Frederico - that is the Actual Execution Plan (captured after the query ran).

Thanks Fred - Yes, I think this one is almost too convoluted to repair, need to start over with a new query.

Your multiple views use the same tables over and over again.

For example, table [Lease] is mentioned in your query plan 20 times, [User_area] - 21 times.

I did not bother counting [Lease_Status], etc.

I'm pretty sure it's not necessary.

Views on views are not a problem, it's chaotic piling up of repeating unnecessary calls to the same bunch of tables which creates the problem.

"Open" those views, build a proper query which is doing what you need to do, and the problem will go away.

For the actual tables, post the DDL, including all indexes.

For any views, post the view definition.

Start with Sergiy's post above... This needs to be a redesign and full redaction of the code. Don't even look at the old code because you'll just end up making the same mistake. Define the problem and write the code to solve that problem and only that problem.

Thanks Jeff and Sergiy - I was thinking that as well, that this is beyond repair and no amount of indexing or other tuning can fix it. Thanks for clarifying. I need to start with one that is no so badly written... (that is fixable).
