Building Stored Procedure from tables to populate view

  • Hi,

    I am using Sql server 2000 and I am trying to find the best way to optimize my views. I am new at this but I have a view calling another view calling another view because of the manipulations I need to do. I realize the performance hits that I am experiencing.

    Is there a better way where I can pull the data from my main table with the first set of manipulations and then utilize the results for the next pull with those changes and then have the final results used in one view?

  • Hi Jonathan,

    What sort of manipulations are you doing? Can you post the DDL for your Views and we might be able to get them working without a significant performance hit.

  • James,

     

    Here is what I do.

    First I convert to more readable names and create Open Time for later manipulation. Then I start using my lookups to fill in other parts (Part 2 and 3)

    Then I use case statements to build other measures from the Open Time field in Step 1.

  • Hello Sir,

    How did you figure out what the columns in table t374 were

    ie... C700002200 is Closed_date?

    Thanks,

    Carl

  • First, we can simplify your case statement with the following:

    Declare @openTime Datetime;

    Set @openTime = '2008-10-27 17:25';

    Select dateadd(hour, datediff(hour, 0, @openTime) + 1, 0) As end_hour

    ,case when datepart(minute, @openTime) >= 30

    then dateadd(hour, datediff(hour, 0, @openTime) + 1, 0)

    else dateadd(minute, 30, dateadd(hour, datediff(hour, 0, @openTime), 0))

    end As half_hour

    You are also returning your date columns as character strings instead of actual dates. This is causing part of the problem when you later try filtering on the dates.

    Considering the OP hasn't logged on in over a year, I have a feeling this particular question will go unanswered.

    Consistency is only a virtue if you're not a screwup. 😉

  • A couple of other things to simplify the queries:

    1) Alias the table/view references - use aliases in select and joins

    Example:

    SELECT t1.col1

    ,t2.col1

    ,t1.col2

    FROM dbo.MyBigTableNameHere AS t1

    JOIN dbo.MyOtherBigTableName AS t2 ON t2.key = t1.key

    2) Do not use '*' - specify all columns in the query.

    3) You are adding seconds to the seed date '1970-01-01' and converting the result to char(19). Convert the result to datetime instead as that will be easier for later date manipulation.

    Thanks - didn't even see the original posters date. Guess I should look at that before posting 😉
