Hi,
i've an ERP program that i can't change anything in query that comes to the SQL Server.
i've SQL 2019 STD FULLY patched and i have problem with this query that i think i caused by the coalesce function.
can someone explain me please why if i remove the coalesce only from this location
and ( ( grppro.dbo.PLNT_PARTACTWORKC.WORKC ) = PLNT_WORKC1.WORKC )
the query finish after less then a sec and with this coalesce it finished after 8 sec?
the full query

It's simple. COALESCE as part of filtering criteria, WHERE/ON/HAVING, means that statistics and indexes can't be used becuase you're making a calculation. That's going to slow things down, leading to scans. You need to change the logic to something else, an OR, another join, something that can use statistics and indexes to help performance.

Just because it's a defered statement doesn't mean you shouldn't use formatting. Formatting is just as important, regardless of if you are using a deffered statement, or not.
Also, 3+ naming for columns is to be deprecated; you're using 4 part naming here. All your objects are also all in the same database, grppro
so why are you using 3 part naming in the FROM
? Why not just connect to the database grppro
and then use 2 part naming for your objects, alias them, and then use the alias to qualify your columns? You'll find the SQL is far more readable that way.
INNER JOIN ... ON 1 = 1
is an odd choice as well. Why not just use a CROSS JOIN
?
In regards to the COALESCE
I suspect that you shouldn't be using them at all. The column you use the functio on is from the PLNT_PARTACTWORKC
table, which you LEFT JOIN
to. More likely you should just have the clause PP.WORKC = WORKC2.WORKC
in the ON
clause of the LEFT JOIN
.
I also note the clause where you CONVERT
the value of NUMERICVAL
to a decimal
; what data type is that column? That's also probably going to make the query non-SARGable. The arithemtical on the column in the WHERE
will also make it non-SARGable, but you also compare that value to one called CLOSEDATE
? Dates aren't numbers, so this has a smell too; is this resulting in a further implicit conversion to a datetime
?
Also, some related reading on your ORDER BY

Does the row count change when you remove the coalesce? I think the coalesce is there because dbo.PLNT_PARTACTWORKC is joined with an outer join. I suspect that removing the coalesce turns it into an inner join, because a null PLNT_PARTACTWORKC.WORKC won't equal WORKC2.WORKC or PLNT_WORKC1.WORKC. I think Grant explained why it affects performance, but without it I think the results will change. I assume you can't tell the vendor to rewrite the code.
LEFT OUTER JOIN grppro.dbo.PLNT_PARTACTWORKC
ON PLNT_PARTACTWORKC.ACT = ACT.ACT AND PLNT_PARTACTWORKC.PART = PART.PART
WHERE ...
AND (COALESCE(PLNT_PARTACTWORKC.WORKC, 0) = WORKC2.WORKC)
AND (COALESCE(PLNT_PARTACTWORKC.WORKC, 0) = PLNT_WORKC1.WORKC)

You're doing (the equivalent of) a CROSS JOIN on the WORKC and PLNT_WORKC tables (JOIN ON 1 = 1). That could generate a huge number of rows. You then filter out rows in the WHERE clause. It should be more efficient to specify the join condition in the JOINs themselves:
INNER JOIN grppro.dbo.PROCESS ON (grppro.dbo.PROCESS.T$PROC = grppro.dbo.PLNT_TASKS.T$PROC)
INNER JOIN grppro.dbo.FAMILY ON (grppro.dbo.FAMILY.FAMILY = grppro.dbo.PLNT_TASKS.COLORFAMILY)
--this join moves up, so that it is before the next two joins
LEFT OUTER JOIN grppro.dbo.PLNT_PARTACTWORKC ON (grppro.dbo.PLNT_PARTACTWORKC.ACT = grppro.dbo.ACT.ACT)
AND (grppro.dbo.PLNT_PARTACTWORKC.PART = grppro.dbo.PART.PART)
INNER JOIN grppro.dbo.WORKC WORKC2 ON (COALESCE(grppro.dbo.PLNT_PARTACTWORKC.WORKC, 0) = WORKC2.WORKC)
INNER JOIN grppro.dbo.PLNT_WORKC PLNT_WORKC1 ON (COALESCE(grppro.dbo.PLNT_PARTACTWORKC.WORKC, 0) = PLNT_WORKC1.WORKC)
LEFT OUTER JOIN grppro.dbo.PLNT_WORKC ON (grppro.dbo.PLNT_WORKC.WORKC = grppro.dbo.WORKC.WORKC)
