I am given my first task to troubleshoot a performance related issue. I have a very small DB with some tables and there is a query which takes 7+ seconds to run. I am not even sure if it is normal. When I ran it, I had statistics time, io + the execution plan so I understood the statistics details with scan and reads but I just don't know where to even start from? What exactly I can provide here in this forum to get some help on where to start?
Does this help?

Copy the :
where SplitEmpID is not null
check into both the inner queries so that it execs before the UNION A-L-L, not after.

If you at all can, change the GROUP BY in the second UNIONed query to be company first, so that it matches the other query and the outer grouping:

group by B.company_name,MediaGroup,companyid,splitempid,issyr, IssMth

) mastertable

I was thinking about creating a temp table (denormalize the data) which can be used to display the report but I am running into an issue and it has something to do with IssYr. Even when I change the datatype to int, it still gives me an error.
This is the error

Msg 206, Level 16, State 2, Line 22
