Restore improved performance???

  • Hi,

    A user complained about a report taking much longer to run than it used to. Sure enough - it is a dog so I started working on the sql but really got onto the wrong track so, to recover quickly, I restored my database from my last nights backup. And now the report's execution speed is what it used to be!!

    What kind of housekeeping takes place during a restore that changed things so dramaticaly? In our production system the only housekeeping we do is a dbreindex on all tables. Should we, can we, do more?

    We run sql2K (sp3) and have a moderate size database with a few tables that are currently in the mllion + row range. The database is only 6 months old and is 1+ Gb in size.

    Cheers, Peter

  • I'd guess corrupted stats, or maybe you just had bad query plans in memory. If it happens again, those two are easy enough to investigate.
