Using a set based approach as opposed to Loop Based Procesing to Improve Perform

  • Hi there

    I have a script which processes and aggregates data.

    Now this is procesing data from a source table called #LoadReadingDetails_SSC

    Currently I am using a Loop to process each batch of records by filtering on the columns [SerialNumber] and [ChannelID]

    On running the script its taking 38 seconds to processs 320,000 records

    Now i understand that using a loop based approach is bad and Set based approach should be used especially for performance reasons.

    But the problem here is that I am taking the data and then peforming a number of steps on each set of data including a merge operation, 2 NTILE statements and so I am struggling to turn this into a set based approach

    Im providing the DDL for this ...apologies its quite long ...but the main driver to each loop is the following :

    INSERT INTO [#ChannelReading] ([ReadingDateTime], [RawReading], [SIReading])

    SELECT

    [Timestamp],

    IsNull([Raw],0),

    [Si]

    FROM

    #LoadReadingDetails_SSC

    WHERE

    SerialNumber = @SerialNumber

    AND

    ChannelID = @ChannelID

    So say if I have 1000 records for SerialNumber - 894339, channel ID  = 11 and 1000 records for SerialNumber - 894339, channel ID  = 14, i have to batch process each of those groups individually.

    Is it possible to process this using a set based approach? I have turned to using Cursors but this does not improve performance

  • Strong recommendation: work backwards.

    Figure out what it is that you need to deliver. Then, get a set of scripts together to deliver it, that doesn't involve using a cursor. That's the best I've got. I'm not unpacking this entire thing.

    I will point out though, that right after you INSERT stuff, you DELETE things. Put that into the WHERE clauses of your INSERT so that you don't move data more than once.

  • Agree with Grant. Something else I look at is how I can batch part of these things. Think about the process rather than the data. Sometimes temp tables and partial updates let me make something work in a batch way across steps. When I'm thinking cursor, usually I'm trying to get too involved in data rather than the batches of operations I need.
