Stored procedure has 60 times worse duration after moving from 2k to 2k5

  • Hello,

    I have very strange problem. We've migrated from SQL 2k to 2k5 and one of our SP runs 6 time slower than in old environment.

    Here output from 10 mins trace:

    SQL 2k5

    Exec_Count Exec_Coun_10sec+

    588 588

    Average_Duration Average_Reads Average_Writes Average_CPU

    35173 7927 66 30

    SQL 2k

    Exec_Count Exec_Coun_0-1sec 1-2_sec 2-5_sec

    543 489 44 10

    Average_Duration Average_Reads Average_Writes Average_CPU

    656 12611 59 355

    As you can see even than we have 10 times better CPU duration is 60 times slower. Any idea what can be wrong?

  • I assume you already updated the statistics with a full scan?

    After doing that... Can you post the execution plan & query? Some functions that worked well enough in 2k don't work as well in 2005. Usually a little adjustment to the query logic can get you over the hump.

  • you'll excuse my perverse sense of humour but when you add all those certifications and such to your post and ask what essentially is a really basic SQL question you're setting yourself up for a bit of a fall !!

    I figure we've known plans are not the same due to a rewrite of the optimiser since 2004 - all you need to do is compare query plans to spot the difference.

    Tuning by duration is a bit hit and miss unless you know you have exclusive use of a box: I assume your two hardware platforms are also identical in every single way?

  • In addition to the update all statistics with fullscan, what about the configuration? Is the hardware identical and identially configured? Are sql server settings the same? Did you run sprocs multple times to ensure the cache was warm?

  • On top of any other suggestions, you've got to understand that there have been numerous Cumulative Updates where hundreds of fixes to SQL Server 2005 were made, some that that could apply to your situation. Whenever you ask such a question, you should state what version of SQL Server you are running. Then perhaps someone might know about a fix or two that would apply.
